Ranch Party !

Yesterday was a fun filled time at Lakota Ranch, where I played for the Laila Rose Foundation Fundraiser. It was a beautiful ranch situated in the hills of Culpeper County, near Remington. The weather was just perfect. Myself and other musicians- including Brian Martin, of Richmond, played during the event, and there was BBQ, sweet tea, and a silent auction- and even a sheep race! It was fun to watch the sheep run up and down the fields. The bulls and cows were joining in on the fun too. Although, I think a few of them got carried away....

Anyways, I had such a wonderful time, and it was for a good cause. Laila Rose was a 4-year-old girl killed in a car accident a few years ago. The foundation is to help children's charities. I am glad I could be part of something so neat. Everyone was so kind to me, and they said they liked my singing and playing and I think it went smooth as pie. Gretchen filmed me. As you can see, I look white as a ghost in some shots. That's because the back light on the camera as still on. Too bad I'm not black- then I would have shown up nicely! I guess my milky white skin can sometimes be a disadvantage!

Here is a clip from the event. Make sure to watch it in HQ!




Today was Mother's Day, so we bought a few carnations and I put them at the cemetery for mother. Then Gretchen and I ate at Baker's Crust, followed by dessert at Bev's ice cream. I do like Bev's a great deal- although it does attract the counter culture some times. I have nothing against them, but they have attitude problems, and it seems to ruin the atmosphere. Anyways, Mother's Day is just an excuse for the floral industry and greeting cards to make up for loss accounts at Christmas. Enjoy!
