Deaf Camp Concert

Well, we sure had an afternoon and evening full of music!  Today was the Aspen Deaf Camp Concert and it featured a number performers.  We skipped the first one and wish we had arrived later 'cause the second one was hard rock and about blew out our ear drums!  But waiting for Pete, Mack and Chris was worth it!!  They took turns playing their favorite songs. In this picture Pete is playing Santa Rita Connection with Chris. He also re-told the story of how he was challenged to play Stevie Wonder's Superstition on solo guitar before playing it.  Mack did Rock Me Grandpa, He and Jack, Lucky man and a couple of other favorites.

There were several other artists who performed before the headline group, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but we were unimpressed with them. After sitting on a blanket on the ground for 5 hours, hearing these other groups was getting pretty old.
But the promised John Denver themed finale was worth the wait! All performers (and a few extras) came on stage and sang Country Roads and Back Home Again, wrapping with Mack singing the verses of Rocky Mountain High.
Off to Estes Park tomorrow!

Sounds like a couple of nice days at the deaf camp. Don't think I could have sat all that time on a blanket - you two have stamina!
