A Few More Photos From The Hoover

This was a real theater, with 400 seats and balconies!

This is the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City, KS

The boys warming up in our dressing room...

This coming Sunday, we're playing a party for Dale's brother-in-law, in a barn. Yee haw!

You've Come A Long Way, Baby!

From Dale's garage in Oak Canyon, to the C.L. Hoover Opera House as the opening act for The Alley Cats...we even had a dressing room, for heaven's sake! A sound guy, who made us sound really good, I mean the whole thing was surreal! I was sure I was going to throw up, from nerves, but I didn't. The theater holds 400 and was almost full, fortunately with the stage lights, we couldn't see past the first row. We got a great response and lots of inquiries. Our show was 30 minutes/7 songs and it absolutely flew by! There are some pictures of us on stage, that friends have sent, I just need to figure out how to get them on this blog. So, in the next day or so, I'll try to do that.

Nelson visit

Andy and Kristin came to visit last weekend with 2 year old Hadly and 3 year old Brody. Hadley really liked riding Rusty, with Gene leading her. She'd say she was "riding the range", complete with black cowgirl boots with pink flowers. Of course. Rusty practically napped the whole time. Brody rode but wasn't nearly as enamored with it as Hadley. She's been telling the other kids at Gymboree that her "Pop Gene bought her a horse".
Andy and Gene attempted to fish, which is difficult at best when there are 2 little kids throwing rocks and 3 dogs swimming in your fishing area. Gene did manage to catch about a dozen crappie, and Brody enjoyed terrorizing his mom with the worms he found in the bait box. All boy. Both kids discovered Gene's keyboard and entertained us by "playing music". We were exhausted by the time they left, and can only hope they were as tired!

My band has a show tomorrow night, hopefully I'll get some photos and/or short video.

Hope everyone is well, and that the Nashville Perry's haven't floated away.

Love, Joan
