| Looking through the audience toward the stage. That's C.W. in the gray hat; Harmonica Slim with the vest, and Larry the sax guy. The rest were part of the Back Porch Blues Band |
We were surprised at the number of older folks (like us) in the audience, but then, Las Cruces is quite a retirement destination. The crowd quickly thinned out when the lively music started, and the oldsters rushed out of the room, madly adjusting their hearing aids.
The music was wonderful. I felt a little sorry that we weren't more demonstrative, but we were enjoying everything about the afternoon in our quiet and conservative way.
I really do love southern blues and southern novels, which seems odd for a desert-dwelling ex-New Englander. Maybe it's time for a little road trip down south. Or, maybe it's just time for me to read another Pat Conroy book while gazing across the desert and up to the mountains.

Sound like a good time Clair. Reminds me I need to start getting out a bit!
Looks like a lotta' fun! I laughed about the hearing aids. LOL
Claire, we can come down and start a Uke group in your town and you can do this all the time yourself! LOL
Sounds like you had fun. I laughed when you mentioned how the crowd thinned out. I really like your new header.
oh I do think we'd be fast friends if we lived close by each other. as it is, I feel as if I've known you forever. this post is delightful. and I'm still gasping at that hollyhock image every time your page loads. ooh la la.
Hatch! I love that place. (But just b/c of the peppers drying on the pink building roofs -- and buying some -- and eating some -- never went to a festival.
That's why we have place-centric books (like Pat Conroy's) so we can read about beautiful interesting places w/o actually leaving home ;>).....)
