We can predict the turn-out when the meeting falls on the first day of the month at the end of summer. Let’s just say, there are plenty of seats available. That just means there is time for all the songs we want plus stories and jokes. We always have a good time.
Matt shared a really great song he wrote, and explained the background story behind ‘Dialog On a Front Porch’. It started in Madison Wisconsin and moved all the way to Montana and matrimony. Gotta be careful with this song writing stuff…
Photo credits this month go to Remy, Matt, and Rich. EXTRA CREDIT (and gold stars) to Kathy Abeyta and Susan Blaney. They figured out a way to get the pictures from Remy’s new high tech camera transferred to my steam powered computer.
