Are Larry and Teresa playing?

Happy First not long trip of retirement, Jaz. Sounds like fun.

Opening the time capsule!

Good onya, jaz :)  I hope it's a grate time.  Happy retirement and looking forward to more of your "free time".

Thanks. I don't know if Larry or Theresa are playing. I really don't know who's in the band. It's a free event , I'm assuming this event will benefit Levon's child hood home.

I just found out about this a couple of days ago from a friend of mine that went last year. Its been a while since I've taken sort of a spontaneous trip.  dose  I'm looking forward.

This is so cool Amy's up next on the porch.

Wow, Jaz!

What an amazing event to be present at!

Amy & Lavon back in their family roots . Confident that it was a highlight of their year. Seems like you have the same happy highlight

Nice pics and sweet venue, jaz :)  

That's Daniel Littleton on guitar, local Woodstock Musician who can tear it up real good!

 

Thanks for the comments and replies.  Every now and then something special happens. This felt special. The event has going for five years now. A local bank is the sponsor. I'll be there next year.

Seemed like Woodstock came to Marvell , Arkansas.

I hope to be there with you next year too, jaz.  Thanks for the great pics!   You are shining from retirement. It was nice to hear your happy voice today. Take care. 

I dosed. I was smoking a bowl taking an edge off in the hotel parking lot 30 miles away in Lula, Mississippi. 

Nobody around and who pulls up.

That's Tony Iome drummer for Little Feat standing next to me. What a surprise that was.

I offered no takers on a hit.
