 July 4th 2006
We celebrated Bill's birthday with an afternoon BBQ
at Dennis and Jackie McGuire's nearby Shooting Star Ranch. Music was
provided by Craig Donegan, Dan Weber, Ed Brown and Susan Wheatley, and finally
Tom Russell and Michael Martin.

The rest of winter/early spring activities have centered
around a place called Brindles Market on Camano Island WA, a few miles from our
Stanwood Home. Brindles combines a neat wine shop with a meat and
seafood market, art gallery, and book store which has been hosting local
musicians on most Friday and Saturday evenings. This plus Wed and Sunday
afternoon jams has made for meeting lots of new performers and jamming
with old friends.
