So tonight, I will be performing with my husband indoors, due to impending rain.
Anyway. I have to unload everything in the truck, so I can start loading speakers and equipment into the truck.
Each day is an entity unto itself for me.
I usually try to plan my to-do lists well in advance. But then it doesn’t seem like anything gets done.
Right now I do have to get started. So here’s the information regarding our gig tonight.

Last night our outdoor concert was moved indoors because of an excessive heat warning.
Temperatures were in the high 90’s. It was 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36.11 degrees Celsius) at 7pm, the time when we were supposed to be outside at the park to perform.
Happily, we got to perform indoors, on stage, at the local community center.
Loading up all the equipment was not too bad.
I didn’t know if I wanted to dress up or style my hair.
So I just did the easy thing and pulled back my hair.
When we got to the venue, the Park and Rec director was there to open doors, turn on the lights and assist us.
She called Maddie O’Connor, a high school senior and fit athlete, to help lift and carry in our heavy speakers and other heavy equipment.
Maddie is a great lifter. She lifts weights, plays hockey, softball and basketball.
The performance venue was changed from German Park to the community center. People began to trickle in.
We eventually had a good-sized audience in spite of the heat outside!
I was a little distracted by all the people coming in at the beginning of show so I kind of got off track during our first number.
Here is a recording of our show last night.

Lots of nostalgic songs, but very fun to perform!
Over the summer our Park and Rec department puts on free Monday evening concerts in the park.
Almost every Monday hubby and I go there to either listen or to perform.
In fact, next Monday night hubby and I will be performing our free concert there.
Yes it is hot and sunny this time of year, but hopefully, we’ll have a nice breeze like there was last night. Although it is predicted to be 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.78 Celsius when we come on to perform next Monday night!
Once again 7pm in German Park, Monday June 20, 2022!
It may get hot or be relocated to the Community Center at 600 N. German, but we’ll have a lot of fun either way!
Here we are with an original sing we composed.
We really enjoyed the sounds of our Municipal band last night!
My favourite was the medley from Meredith Wilson’s, “The Music Man.”
I found out Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are performing that Hollywood musical on Broadway!
My own music duo Molly and Sonny Boy (me and hubby Jim) will be performing here at German Park on June 20, 2022!
Here is a sample of our original music!
My music duo Molly and Sunny boy recently recorded this song on a video.
The song became really popular after a film called, “Good morning Vietnam,” in 1988.

Today was a beautiful day. After covering ourselves with bug spray because of the crazy gnats, we took a lovely walk up our street.
There are some wonderful houses on our street as well.
I am a big fan of German-French-American star Marlene Dietrich.
I like the song “Falling in love again,” so I did a video with hubby here.
One of the most popular motion picture stars of the thirties and forties, Marlene even has her own museum.
Today my post is about music and food, two of life’s greatest blessings!
Today my little music duo, Molly and Sonny Boy ( hubby Jim and I,) did a nice little number for you, “That’s Amore.” Just guitar, tambourine and 2 vocals.
It’s a song that mentions Pasta Fazool.
Hubby cooks it often from a recipe he got from his Italian ex-girlfriend’s mother. It contains ditalini pasta, Great Northern beans, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes dried Romano cheese chunks, black pepper, red pepper, rosemary, garlic and olive oil.
My folk duo published this song.
It was inspired by a real-life experience.
I was introduced to a new coffee drink I never heard about until I moved to the USA.
It was called the Cappuccino.
I wrote the lyrics and hubby arranged the music and tweaked the lyrics to suit.
He put the African talking drum in there as well, to mimic the sounds of cappucinno-making.
I used video and photos from the time we were in Las Vegas.
Enjoy this song for free from Sonny Boy and me!
There are over a hundred daily videos that my eclectic folk duo, Molly and Sonny Boy, made 2 years ago, shortly before the Covid pandemic.
We posted them nightly on YouTube.
We called it our Daily Verse and Chorus Project.

I still view them now and then to catch a glimpse of our sweet dogs Cole and Pixie who sometimes appear in them.
I still feel so much sadness over their deaths.
Happily, they both each lived to be about 17! Pixie, the Pomeranian lived to be 16 years and 8 months and Cole the Poodle, lived to be 17 years and one month.
I wish they were still alive. Their lives were too short in my books, even though in dog years, they would each be over 100!
In 2013, we fulfilled a lifelong dream of my husband’s, to perform at Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Now that hubby is retired, we continue to practice daily, dreaming of stardom, or at least steady gigs!
The most used app on my phone is the Voice app, so we can record inventive guitar riffs and pin down lyrics for new songs.
We like to write songs, and we have an album out already of all original songs you can check out on Apple music.

Last night my eclectic music duo, Molly and Sonny Boy performed at Morgan Creek Vineyards.
It was perfect weather.
When the sun finally set, there was a clear sky and a beautiful moon.
The food they provided after our gig was from an outdoor pizza oven.
All in all, it was a special time thanks to our generous George, Paula, Adam, Griffin, Dee and all the employees at Morgan Creek Vineyards!
