Summer Music

Staying closer to home this summer we're taking advantage of local concerts and performances. Our favorite folk group is Mustard's Retreat, a duo of local singer/song writers who have a great relaxing way of telling a story.

We attended a concert at Dearborn's Bryant Library Courtyard this week to hear David Tamulevich and Michael Hough perform. The temperature was perfect, the crowd was enthusiastic and best of all it was free. We're hoping to head to Flint this weekend to hear them and other performers at the Flint Folk Music Festival.

Even worser!

Yes, I know..."worser" is NOT a word.

Well I spent a good portion of New Year's Eve day coming down with diverticulitis, and by New Year's Day was pretty much a basket case, or perhaps toilet bowl case would be more accurate. I didn't really start to improve until Friday afternoon, and I'm still having a touchy stomach so I need to be somewhat careful with what I stick in my mouth.

We did go to a Mustard's Retreat performance in Canton over the weekend. A small but appreciative crowd, and fantastic music as always by David and Michael. They'll be performing at The Ark on January 16th, so we're planning on being there. I believe it is a CD release concert for the Yellow Room Gang, so lots of great music and performers!

Last trip postponed

Well due to some personal matters that are quite serious we've had to cancel our last camping trip for the summer. Originally scheduled to go to Brimley SP, near Sault Ste. Marie. We are going to miss seeing Mustard's Retreat, our favorite folk group, who will be performing at Paradise for the Wild Blueberry Festival. All I can do is sigh and hope that this isn't the signal for how the remainder of summer will go. Let's hope not! ;-)
