spring is here

Been a few weeks since the last update. The reason being that nothing remotely extraordinary happened. This week was different. Last Thursday, Bren and I joined my sister, Lisa and a couple of her friends and went to see a Pat Matheny concert. We had a very enjoyable evening. Neither Bren nor I knew recognized any of the tunes yet we really enjoyed the show. Pat is truly a phenomenal guitar player and his band is excellent. The music and light show were quite a contrast to the Glen Campbell concert that we saw about a month ago. Its funny we went to both shows on a whim with uncertain expectations and thoroughly enjoyed both.
On something completely different. I installed a new dishwasher this weekend. We are giving it a first test run this eve and all seems to be well with the installation. This home improvement project was actually kind of fun and it went in with very little profanity. Tim the toolman would have been proud.

Glen Campbell

Had a fun evening yesterday. Bren and I went to the Van Wezel to see a Glen Campbell concert. It was a lot of fun. He had a five piece band that included: drums, bass, acoustic guitar, electric piano, and of course Glen on the lead guitar. A wide range of songs included a beach boys medley, some great covers of old standards and of course a string of his biggest hits. Highlights also included duets with his daughter Debbie Campbell. His guitar playing was fantastic and his voice was true. Who would have thought that this would have been such a good time. Only problem now is that I have to go to work humming refrains from a Rhinestone Cowboy.
