Yes, managed to procure rides to both practice last night and the event today.

We did three sets on the hour starting at 1PM. Occasional gusts of wind tended to skew my leadsheets into uninterpretable positions even with clips on them and forcing me to play one handed using the other hand to hold the music in place. A gust even launched the second set’s sheets to various parts of the property before I got them clipped down, and in the process of grabbing at them as they passed by I somehow managed to hit an unknown combination of keys, buttons, and sliders that caused my keyboard to go into a Hillary like freezeup that required a reboot (but no secret service dudes to hoist it into a van..)

Had hotdogs and beans, coffee, cider, doughnuts (and a bottle of water.. ;-) Fairly decent turnout, but now I must sit a spell..

And the Subaru still awaits its struts. Ebay says they are shipped. UPS says they don’t have them, but a label was created yesterday for whatever that is worth.

Whoever does the work should work safely. That's a lot of weight, and considerable force to constrain it.

So this was my afternoon.

I gave my cell phone to someone to take some pictures and in none of the pictures he took did he get everyone in the frame, and the drummer is not in any of them. We were short one guitarist, and the bassist cancelled last Monday and we couldn't get a replacement on short notice.

This is right before we started the third set around 3pm. I have no idea who the clown is, but he couldn't play worth beans.. ;-)

Sounds like you had an interesting time. I hope people were inspired by your efforts!
