Well, yes and no.
Thanks to Captain's Quarters sending the band home yesterday afternoon, I technically didn't see seven bands on seven different days. But, I did see a total of seven bands as I saw two bands on Wednesday.
Plus, yesterday, I did see a deejay.
So, I'm calling it mission accomplished.

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.

This Past Weekend
FRIDAY, JUNE 27TH: Cut the grass and did yardwork. Went to Popeye's (not the chain of restaurants) in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for their great fish fry overlooking Geneva Lake and the Riviera Docks. Stopped at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes and then went to Kevin and Kelly's on Fox Lake and sat out by the lake for a Friday happy hour with the Usual Suspects.
Last stop at the Legion on Nippersink Lake for Ron Payton and the Country Tradition Band, playing classic country songs.
SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH: Spent the whole afternoon trimming bushes and sure am glad that is over as that is the hardest yard chore to do, even with all my bushes that suffered winter kill.
Went to the Legion again for the Sons of the American Legion (of which I am a member) first annual gun raffle and chicken bbq. We split one of those chicken 'cues with corn on the cob and five fixin's and were plenty full. The Second Chapter Band provided music.
SUNDAY, JUNE 29TH: We went to Nauti-Knots on Bluff Lake and sat out at the tiki bar and had their deckshoe sandwich (actually Springfield, Illinois, horseshoe sandwiches, a real taste treat). Then checked out a new place that opened this last week, 'Cuda's and then to Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake.
I wasn't too happy to find out that they had sent the band home early as they played old country music and most agreed they didn't play it very well. But, I must admit being shocked as the deejay at Captain's actually talked and goofed around with the crowd some. Usually, mum's the word for him.
That kind of threw a wrench in my Seven Bands in Seven Days effort as it was too late to get the boat and go out to Blarney Island to see their band and we didn't know of any other places with entertainment.
Stopped at Antonio's on the way home, then enjoyed the lights I had put up in the gazebo earlier today.
Oh, Well. Still had Plenty Good Time. --RoadDog
WHY TEACHERS TURN GRAY EARLY (Selected test answers): Q: How can a man go 8 days without sleeping? A: Easy, sleep at night.

JSS: Cutting Grass-- Trimming the Bushes-- Seven Bands
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1 CUTTING GRASS-- Usually by this time, I am cutting the grass ever seven and plus days as the hot weather kicks in, plus raising the cutting deck to 3 inches (from 2 1/2 inches). But this has been the "Storm Season" and I have to cut the grass much more often. I cut the grass on Monday and again on Friday.
2. TRIMMING THE BUSHES-- Plus, the "Storm Season" has kept the bushes too wet to cut, so have a lot of them still to do. Good news is that the "winter kill" which we had a lot of this year, makes it unnecessary to trim a lot of them. The bad news that they're dead.
3. SEVEN BANDS: As of yesterday, I have seen six bands in five days, with another one or two (maybe even three) for today. I'm still hoping to see at least one band every day this week.
