Level Best

Level Best is the name of my new band. Here are some photos from recent events. the first one is at afunky little steak house near Fort Riley, called the Tyme Out. We played there this past Thursday night and had a very appreciative crowd. The middle picture is at Acoustic Junction which is held at the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City. It's a quarterly showcase that typically involves 4-5 acts. I've played there several times and it's always a lot of fun. The bottom picture is from the Flush Picnic. I just like that name! The town of Flush, KS is home to St. Joseph's Catholic Church, where band member, Steve Seitz and his wife are members. Every July, they put on a fried chicken dinner that draws over 2,000 people. So we set-up outside the doors of the family life center and entertain people as they stand in line. All collected tips are then donated to St. Joe's, and this year we collected $247! It's the only time we can honestly say we played for a crowd of 2,000! Tomorrow night, Sunday, we're playing a concert in the park at my church, in conjunction with a pig roast. It's a fund raiser for the youth fall retreat. We did it last year and had Presbyterians dancing in the grass! So, that's what I've been up to!
 


 
Yesterday, the tree trimmers were here, taking down a big, white ash tree that was damaged in 70 mph straight line winds a few weeks ago. It was quite a job! That's why you pay the professionals.
