Review:
"Hey, where'd you get that camera bag?" - attractive young blonde woman, who didn't also say "Hey, I liked your songs!" Oh well.
.

A car was heading north on Sprague. Another was waiting at the stop sign heading east on Empire. I think that driver thought they had enough time to pull out in front of the Sprague car, and get up to speed (or did not see it). The roads were slippery and the Sprague driver likely thought he did not have enough time to brake without losing control, and so he drove quite deliberately between the telephone poles and up onto the church yard. The other driver continued on, possibly unaware of what had happened. The Sprage drive reversed out of the yard, and continued on, seemingly with no damage. No pedestrians (except me) or other vehicles were nearby.
.

I Will (Lennon/MCCARTNEY),
'69 - '74 (Pepper), and
Make You Feel My Love (Dylan).
--------
I Can't Help Falling in Love With You (Creatore/Weiss),
Threw It All Away (Dylan), and
Happy Together (Bonner/Gordon).
Highlights: Barrett's Privateers by Elliott and friend (below), and
Playing harp on "Piano Man" (Joel) for a "birthday girl".
.
As one of the many performers, I sang my song parodies "Calpurnia Dreamin'" and "Et Tu" (Hey Jude).
Highlight: people laughed at the right places, (and not when I forgot the words).
.
Chat with K & T, kids arrived from swimming, AMPW's medals, pasta, wild cucs pickles, artichokes, badge from M just before I left.
.
My theme was Life/Death:
Satisfied Mind (Hayes/Rhodes),
In My Life (LENNON/McCartney), and
The Living Years (Robertson/Rutherford ).

Review: "I liked that first song." (which I sang mostly a capella)
-- KC Westfort
(and I liked his new song).

The only reason I bought this for a few bucks (despite not have a table or room for one) is because it is the same box as I had in my childhood:
