July 10th and 11th
This past Friday, we played at our friend Lynn Morgan's husband's surprise 40th birthday in at Carolina BBQ in Garner, NC. We had a wonderful time and met some new people and had a delicious meal! BBQ, hushpuppies, fried chircken, and of course, birthday cake! On Saturday, we played at The Lodge in Wake Forest. The residents enjoyed it and so did we! Right after we played, there was a very special guest. ELVIS! Well, an impersonator. And he did a good job, too. It was good seeing him alive and well! Well, that has been our weekend!
