1/24/11

The Ashley Gang played at the world famous Yalaha Bakery on Saturday.  This gig is an afternoon event, and usually draws quite a lunch crowd to this off the beaten path destination.  The morning was cloudy as we headed from Sebastian to the booming metropolis of Yalaha,   But as if by some divine intervention the sky cleared and the sun came out in full force just as we arrived to set up.  The not so divine part was that a cold north wind settled in also, and the temperature seemed to drop a little more with every set we played.  By the time we wrapped things up at two o'clock we looked like six folk popsicles.  In spite of the weather issues, the place was a bee hive of activity.  I would say that this country is in the throes of a serious bread addiction epidemic.  If you've never made the trip to the Bakery your missing out on some serious gourmet bread and pastries.

Day Fifty four

Today I went on various missions for my pregnant daughter.  She is in full nesting mode and I'm doing my best to accommodate her.  She has some grandiose decorating concepts for the baby's room, and I have been elected to help my son in law with the project.  Being handy isn't  all it's cracked up to be.   But honestly, I don't mind helping out in this time of need, after all that's what fathers are for.  We'll be putting bead board on the lower 2/3 of the wall and capping it off with chair rail, along with some window trim.  I'm sure it will look stunning, my greatest fear is that it will look so stunning she'll want to do it in other rooms.  We'll do our best without exceeding her expectations, that usually works.
    No time in the studio today, but I managed to wrangle up a gig for january at the world famous Yalaha Bakery.  If you've never visited the place you owe it to yourself to get there.  It's an old world german style bakery, amazing fresh baked goods and german treats.  It's a life altering experience.  Maybe we'll see you there in January.
   That's it for today, Here's your daily words of wisdom:
