Vintage Radios And Bluegrass Music

After breakfast we all went to HSC Electronics Supply store to an Antique And Vintage Radio Show. Neat to see all the old radios, many fully restored. Of course most were for sale as well.

Fortunately we have two as nice as the ones at the show. My grand mothers radio and Lou has one that she inherited.

I used to have a shed full of similar old radios but got rid of most of them about twenty years ago. Lots more room now.

On our way home we first stopped at a nearby Costco store to use their rest rooms and then snacked on their samples before leaving. Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch. We stopped at a few other places on the way home. Lou made a meat loaf with baked potatoes and broccoli for dinner.

After dinner we went over to the First Presbyterian Church where the Redwood Bluegrass Associates had a concert cosponsored by the Northern California Bluegrass Society. The guest artists were Chris Stuart & Janet Beazley, Brittany Haas & Lauren Rioux.

The first half of the show was  performed by Brittany and Lauren playing their fiddles and banjo. Brittany first appeared with this group eight years ago. She was raised in the area.

The second half of the show was performed by Chris and Janet. They have a really nice act with comedy and really demonstrated their musical skills.

They were joined by Brittany and Lauren and by Paul Shelasky for a few songs as well. What a great show! It was neat to hear Janet was raised in the Western country music capital, Bakersfield, where Lou and I were raised.
