Happy 3rd Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been three years! Time flies when you're having fun. Last night we saw many of our old friends from Heartland Unplugged, along with meeting several new ones. I hope everyone had time to wander around to the different jammin' rooms to get a good flavor for what HU has to offer. There was something for everyone: bluegrass, country, folk, blues, rock, you name it....and the talent...wow! Our little jam on the fourth Friday of every month just keeps growing. Enough of my jabbering on. Let's get on with what you really came to see...the pictures!

Hoping for Nicer Weather Tomorrow Night

Well...I'm sitting here at my computer...it's Thursday afternoon and Kansas City was just dumped on again, for the ??? time this winter. Lots of sleet came down today. I think I heard that we're supposed to get some light snow in the morning. You know, in years past, we've had some of our best nights of music during this type of weather. The church is warm and inviting. Lots of good friends. It really turns out to be one of the best times to visit Heartland Unplugged. Tomorrow night marks our third year anniversary of HU. We're planning on having cake and ice cream to celebrate. The Browns will be cooking up their tasty cheeseburgers. What more could you ask for. You've got to brave the cold and come on out. It may be my imagination, but I swear the music just keeps getting better. That should come as no surprise, after all, we've been playing together for three years. I'll quit for now...Thursday night is bowling night for me. I bowl with my Dad, daughter, Son-in-law, and sister. I love bowling with family at the Sterling Bowl in Sugar Creek, but hate missing out on Gary's jam every Thursday night. Things are always hopping over at the Community of Christ church just up the road on Blue Ridge. That Sugar Ridge band is one terrific bluegrass band. There's also always a good group of other musicians to jam with in one of the back rooms. They seem to come from all over Missouri and Kansas.

December and January Heartland Unplugged

I have a lot of photos to post. Thanks again to Frank, I have photos from the last two months. We've had several new musicians join us and their contributions have been fantastic. There is so much talent out there. Well, on with the photos.
