Dr. Lew Sterrett from Sermon on the "Mount" with Handsome the horse!
Gotta love Luke's expression...."are you sure about this tempo"? We performed as part of Community Night with Dr. Lew Sterrett. Giving a concert outdoors is always challenging due to the unpredictable weather, but this one was doubly so! First a rain shower rolled in during set-up, necessitating a hurried re-packing of the sound system and instruments in the van, then the humidity descended upon us so heavily, there were drops of water sitting upon our instruments and equipment. Afterward we arrived back at our accommodations, we set the electronic equipment and instruments out to dry overnight!

"Ta da!"
