To Be Up North
That's what this weekend
was, among the smear players and ski jumpers.
We started the weekend
driving to Iron Mt. MI in a snowstorm.
After finally making it,
we had dinner at the old “Alibi” bar then a jam at the old Kimlark
Inn (sp?).
Another memory and another
tune. Bobby Steeno sang about Too Tall and his short visit with
life long memories.
Then on Saturday it was
still too windy for the ski jumps so we got ready to play at Wally's
Wonder Inn.
We arrived at 8:30 for
the 9 PM gig. As we opened the door, the smoke rolled out of the
place.
There had been an all
day card tournament, and the results still hung over the bar.
Many Steeno friends and
family were there to enjoy the SpareTime experience.
Then on Sunday a trip
back to Madison for The.SpareTime bunch 4 PM gig at the Hody Bar.
What a time was had in
Middleton…
Carmen was there..
Blackie and Debbie got up
to sing
Dave Bachal played bass and
sang a tune
Nate Sitzman played the
strings off that mando and sang some too!
Next stop: Arizona!!
But that's another story……
