Concert via Gondola

We enjoyed a super concert by Mack Bailey, Pete Huttlinger, and Chris Nole tonight in Snowmass.  It was  an open air concert in the center of town and was a free concert for the benefit of the Aspen Deaf Camp. The camp had a free will offering and also a silent auction while selling tickets for tomorrow's extended show with these and many more artists.
One intriguing part of this concert was arriving by gondola!  We are staying in Upper Snowmass Village and the town operates a free gondola service to connect the upper and lower parts of the town.
The three guys put on a great show, playing for an hour, taking a break, then coming back for another hour.  Mostly John Denver favorites, with a few other tunes thrown in for good measure - Pete did a rendition of his song McGuire's Landing.
They had several area guests join them on stage, with the most famous being John Oates.  They closed with a very moving encore of "Wings That Fly Us Home".

Mary took some great closeups of the guys.


After the show we hung around a while to give our congratulations, then Chris Nole and his wife joined us in our gondola ride back to Upper Snowmass.
