Clouds on the Peninsula

Clouds cover the Olympic Peninsula and rain threatens, but none of that dampens the fun at the Junction in Port Angeles. Sunday was great with Bill, Bob, Johnny Mustang, George, Ida and Gabriel all on hand to play and sing through the night. The crowd not only listened to our songs but danced to the more upbeat numbers. What fun! John Nelson, from the Peninsula Daily News, was there and we played "Shenandoah," his favorite of our songs. Sometimes the Junction reminds me of the old TV show, "Cheers." It's a place with personality, regulars, and the best gin and tonics north of Los Angeles.

Our new cd is delivered and ready to be heard. In fact, one cut, "Deep River Blues," was played on internet radio this evening. Check out Cygnus radio from Ontario, Canada. That makes two radion stations that have played our songs this year. Although I rarely listen to our local KONP AM station here in Port Angeles for fear of Rush Limbaugh, the station, thanks to Karen Hannan, played and promoted our local gig at the Seven Cedars Casino earlier this year. What a thrill to hear yourself on the radio!

Saturday we're at the Farmer's Market in Port Angeles, starting at ten in the morning. Cds will be available!
