The threat of nasty weather did not deter a full house at Lehman's. The annual Speedway Awards Banquet crowd stayed on and enjoyed the fun. Nancy & I enjoyed a FANTASIC steak dinner before the show. Butch, your staff has to be commended. They make it look so easy.
The Show: Dave Alley, my friend who plays bass with me for most of my gigs, was ill and did not make it...we missed you. John Lehman; up from UW Madison to do the 'Berke was in the house and accompanied me on several tunes. A new guest guitarist/singer, Bob Berg from Birchwood treated us with a few tunes including some real nice blues. I got a chance to break out my harmonica and play along with some tunes Bob led. 'Shultzy and friends' added backing vocals with the guest mic on a few songs.
The snow and wind started about 1:00am. The drive back to Bloomer was not bad. A plow truck had gone through just a few minutes ahead of us. We are looking forward to our next gig to celebrate St. Patrick's day on March 17th. Sounds like there is planning to be several guest musicians that may make it. Thank you all for another fun evening.
