January 15, 2015 Music, Music, Music

Afternoon Jam Session 
There were fifteen musicians this afternoon.  Del, age nearly 90, was there to play the harmonica; Ken, age 82, played his trumpet; plus the usual assortment of guitars, mandolin, doubreau, spoons, and vocals.  

This takes place at an RV park five miles south of town.

Evening Jam Session
Amigo Inn Motel and RV Park hosts the evening session.  Fred and Gay, from Oklahoma, are in charge of this session as this is where they park their RV.  Jan and Bruce are calling one of the motel rooms home for the month.  

Fred and Gay, Bruce, Glen, and Evelyn were the musicians/vocalists tonight.  Most of the audience are residents of the motel/rv park.  

I think the guitar players had worn out fingers by the end of the evening.
********************

Speaking of Jan and Bruce's motel room:  It isn't fancy, but clean and has all they need.  EXCEPT, there is no insulation in the walls and no furnace.  They are (trying to) keep warm with one electric heater, and lots of covers on the bed!  Most of the "older" residences/business in this area are not insulated as it usually isn't expected to be this "cold" and "wet" for this long in the winter.  

We are looking forward to some sunshine tomorrow!
