TAKING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO BE TOGETHER

Most recently we honored one of the Dragon’s birthdays. Everyone brought something special to eat, their own coolers filled with their favorite libation, and love in their hearts.

Noel, the eldest Knight, brought his guitar and amp and played beautiful country tunes for everyone. Some enjoyed them more than others and attempted to back him up! Just click on THE BACKUP SINGERS and you can get just a touch of their efforts!

It might have been the “cherry moonshine” I don’t know, but they sang their little pee pickin’ hearts out – don’t you think!

I love my family and the best part is they love me – or at least they did before I posted this!

Anyway, posted here are all five of the Knights (Noel separate on the guitar), and all five of the Dragons. “The Backup Singers” feature Judy (my favorite Dragon) and Neena.

ROCKIN’ EASTER EVE

As I have posted before, it is funny how the Dragons congregate in one area while the Knights flop in another at family gatherings. It could be the level of the music, I don’t know! We have always liked it loud, but these days it is almost a necessity for us old dudes to hear the same licks we used too!

After eating baked ham, potato salad, baked beans, rolls and other great starches, we settled into the music room for some Dylan, G&R, Son Volt, Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, Skynyrd and more! The intensity was enhanced by cold beers and a little local libation kicker called “cherry” moonshine!

It’s a good way to sleep off a full stomach and get lost in your own little “headphone” world!

I thought the “moon” was very photogenic…don’t you?

Later, it was time for some juicy coconut cake for our sweet tooth.

Hope your holiday was as enjoyable as ours.
