My last blog entry acknowledged the beginning of summer, and here it is Labor Day already. It’s been an ‘interesting’ summer this year – very quiet on the career front, but a fair amount of activity in my musical world. A number of gigs with Time Peace, The Homewreckers, and Epworth’s praise band have kept me busy enough. But a
Yesterday wrapped up a week of rehearsals and performances of Music Man at Whiteford High School. Next up, Ottawa Hills High School will be presenting their production of the Broadway classic, Pippin. Under the musical direction of Mitch Tyson, this year’s show promises to measure up to other recent OHHS productions, such as Guys & Dolls, The Wiz, West Side Story, and

I’ve whittled it down to seven images so far, and may thin the herd a bit more before the deadline. But for now, here are the lucky pixels. Let me know which are your faves.

As promised, here is a link to a Flash gallery of images taken last Sunday at Wildwood Metropark of participants in a Civil War encampment.

Since my son has been doing sound this summer with Universal South recording artist Joe Nichols, we were looking forward to seeing the show at the nearest venue on the tour – the Fulton County Fair in Wauseon.
