Do You Remember Northern Exposure?

I do not look like Holling, the bartender, from the old Northern Exposure television show! Despite what the adoring fans at last Saturday's Farm Tour (Clallam County Heritage Festival) said. Stephanie confirms my belief that he was much older than me, even back in 1991, or whenever that show ran.
Nevertheless, rural farm life in Clallam County certainly has plenty of charm. There were chickens, pigs, tomatoes, homemade soup, dogs that fetched, and plenty of bamboo. And there was nearly five hours of music by us, Rollin' Waters. That is a long time to play music, and my fingers and Stephanie's voice showed some wear and tear, but the day went by fast, and I, for one, would do it again...maybe in two or three weeks. But next week we're almost as busy with the Sequim Open Air Market on Saturday and then the party for Kevin Van DeWege's campaign workers (teachers) at the John Wayne Marina in Sequim. Then, on Sunday, we're playing at 1:00 PM for John Nelson's Food Bank benefit at the Port Angeles Eagles. Whew! Oh yeah, don't forget the Junction in Port Angeles on Sunday night, as usual, starting at 7:00 PM. The week after that is even busier! Stay tuned for more pictures.
