Crosby, Still & Nash are beginning to show their age, but, man, can they make music! Stills plays guitar like nobody's business, Nash still relates so well to the audience, and Crosby's voice is beautifully clear. They played for two hours, a variety of old classics and newer songs, some of them political and all of them appreciated by the audience. We were grateful to have seats in the covered reserved section row 13 and 8 seats in when the rains came, but they didn't last long. The exit parade took us only 31 minutes, much better than the previous couple of times. It was a good evening.

More good news: by making my poor dead computer (Mac Mama) a "target disk" through a firewire cable attached to my laptop, I was able to copy every file I wanted that was stored there onto a backup disk. Hallelujah!!  Life is good.

That said, I'll mention that what started as a line of strong thunderstorms turned into a probable tornado that struck at least 100 homes southeast of here. For a disaster that struck so rapidly and without any warning, the loss of life is apparently incredibly small, although it'll be tomorrow before any official statements will be made. This summer's weather has been odd since mid-June. I hope next week brings more typical stuff.
