SUNDAY-- NEW ODYSSEY and PARISHFEST
Sunday, after listening to Rick Jackson's Country Hall of Fame on WMIL, 106.1 FM, and then Mitch Morgan's 35 Country Top Countdown in the gazebo, we went to St. John's Parishfest in Johnsburg, Illinois.
Liz went to school with one of the members of New Odyssey from first to eighth grade and had just gotten back in touch with him after her mother's death (he had seen the obituary). They call themselves "Three Guys and Thirty Instruments" and put on one of the best shows around. They played all 30 instruments during a Beatles medley and did a great show on a group of drums during "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida."
Great food and reasonable beer at $1.50 a cup. We were joined by Sue and Paul who had just come back from a 24 day trip out west to the national parks.
Unfortunately, New Odyssey were late starting and had to stop several times because of rain, before he second half of the show was canceled.
A Mighty Good Time This Weekend. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
