Odometer 183,350………..A good, but crazy weekend of gigs! We started Thursday night at Mary’s Lake Lodge, and it was a great night of music with Danny Shafer, Mike Beck and Ken Campbell. We had one heck of a hootenanny goin’ all night. Then it was off to Alma. Elevation 10,500. Maybe more. The highest bar in the United States. When we arrived, the bartender was surprised we made it because they had shut down the road in both directions getting into Alma. When we asked why, she said, “there is a gunman on the loose!” That was pretty shocking, but I guess it is still the wild, wild west out here in Colorado. The gig went on without any hitches, but we did wake up to a flat front left tire. Maybe the gunman got us. I’m not sure. Then on to Granby, CO for the Saturday night gig. The Denver Broncos game was on, so I would have to say that affected turnout a little bit. We tried to do our best to end songs when something good happened in the game, so it felt like they were appauding for us. Sometimes it worked…. I guess just a normal working weekend for us. See you all soon, and watch out for the gunman……
