Back from SWD

So... I'm just back from the Sheep Wagon Days Fest. What a nice weekend. Friday and Saturday were in the high 70s and Sunny, with just a bit of rain Sunday morning and early afternoon. The festival entertainment went as follows: Friday and Saturday I played bagpipe performances throughout the day. Saturday night I did a Country Western dinner show. Sunday I was back on the pipes for the morning and at lunch time I got to sit in with the John Wayne Band playing cowboy songs and some Irish folk tunes.
This festival is allot of fun because my wife and kids come along. My boys love getting out and talking to all of the old ranchers, learning a bit about what it takes to be a cowboy. My six year old spent most of the weekend with a retired cattleman named Lex teaching him how to rope. Lex made Cam his own lariat and sent it home with him to practice. The boys also got to take turns going on a helicopter tour of the mountain area around Craig. They loved it. As did Mom and I.

Well, here's a little vid from the afternoon sit in with the John Wayne Band. This tune was completely new to them so it starts out a bit rough. It's entirely to old for me so it ends a bit silly.

Sorry there are no pics of the kids. We live in far to dangerous a world to post pictures of my children on an open forum like this. If you want to see them you've got to go to my facebook.

I'm out!
