Rhythm Riders Concert

We had the best time tonight. The Penryn Plays Playground Committee put on a benefit performance to raise money for the new fields and playground. I guess the parks dept. had planned us to be the last in the area to receive this new equipment and with the budget now it won't be happening. So a bunch of people started their own thing and they have raised a lot of money. A local band named the Rhythm Riders, A Johnny Cash/Patsy Cline tribute band performed, FREE. I got Ed tickets for our anniversary and then his company donated a BUNCH of money in surveying services so they sent George two more tickets. We went with our friends the Posehns and just had a marvelous time. It was a blast. With one exception. A section of the crowd, near the bar, were roudy and rude. I finally told someone that I thought the bar should be closed during the performance and it worked. Then the drunks were still rude but not as loud and they couldn't continue to drink and get worse.
This man looks so much like Johnny Cash it was eerie and he sings his songs so amazingly well. His wife was awesome too and I especially liked the songs they sang together.

We bought a couple of Cd's and had them signed. One for Ed's boss. I think I might have Haley write him a note on the program too. Aleanea and Justin we missed you and they play in Sacto sometimes so maybe mandy and obee and all of us could go one night to hear them.

Here is the link to their site. The music should play. I like it al lot! http://www.rhythmridersmusic.com/pages/photos.html
