The guy on the right is Brian, a GPI volunteer from BC who was fascinated by Scarecrow's octave mandolin. After checking it out, he picked up Scarecrow's guitar and sat in with us for a while. I wish I could remember his last name.
Lots of strings: fiddle, banjo, guitar, octave mandolin, mandola, mandolin, mountain dulcimer... I think that's about it. And Scarecrow's big shiny red mother-of-toilet-seat triple-row button accordion.
No audio. Probably just as well. We probably didn't sound as good as I remember, and as I remember, we didn't sound all that good. But it was fun. And we were Better Than Nothing.

Looks like good times. Is GPI by chance the organization that has an exhibit at Salmon Days by city hall?
ReplyDeleteYup, GPI has done an adoption information meet-and-greet kind of thing at Salmon Days for the past several years. They have greyhounds there in shifts the whole weekend. I haven't been, myself, but they say it's pretty fun.
ReplyDeletegosh got some bandwidth going on here finally - thank you for sharing I do so love the old photo dig outs we have been all doing lately.
ReplyDeleteWish I had thought of that name for "my" band at the retirement home. LOL Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteDiane you could always snitch the idea sort of with a twist?
ReplyDeleteLove the picture!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to play the banjo, but the only instrument I ever mastered was the swinette.
