Ken Hale came all the way from Los Angeles to hang out with his boyz and play music.
 



Bud Minton is like gum on the bottom of your shoe.


Good morning Northern Cali.! Is 10:am too early for a cold beer?
 


Welcome to Isleton,
home of the wild, elusive, crawdaddy.
This picture was taken early in the morning. This looks like a western set at Universal Studios.
 



The temperature was hot! Fortunately, we had a
cooool breeze to help us
keep going.




"What?"
 

While we were
playing, a large
parrot came and
sat on stage.
