Music from last week...

Need to do a little catching up around here. It was nice to have Patrick home for a couple days last weekend. Milwaukee seems to suit him. He spent a good bit of time here searching for warmer clothes, the beach volleyball season on the Lake Michigan waterfront must be ending.



Tuesday my friend Robert and I went to hear Joe Satriani at the State Theater in Minneapolis. It was a great show. A special treat for me was getting to see Leslie West and Corky Laing open. These are two of the three members of the band Mountain. All in all a very entertaining evening.




Friday night, went with Greg W., and watched the Music Builds Tour at the Target Center. The tour was organized to benefit Habitat for Humanity. I was able to get some really great seats and enjoyed that show as well. I don't know if the accoustical upgrade work in the venue has been completed, but it sounded pretty good to me, better than before. Greg is the electric guitar player in the Cedarbrook Band, and a big fan of Third Day.




Finally, it's been reported that this is an unusual year for the vivid fall colors. The combination of rainfall, and temperatures over the past few months has given us the most beautiful leaves that I can recall. It's really something to see this year. The Pioneer Press has a slide-show, be sure to click the little icon in the lower right hand corner of the slide-show viewer to make it appear in the "full screen" version for a better look.
