Friday evening, after shopping downtown, some of us went to eat ribs at Bar None BBQ. While we were looking at the menu, I could hear a Hard 2 Git CD playing on the sound system! Did they see us coming?! After dinner we gathered on the porch to do some more picking and singing.
Saturday morning the whole crew met for breakfast at the Folk Center restaurant, or “The Skillet” as some call it. Sam sure has a lot of fans in Mountain View! The waitress at the rib place had asked us Friday night where Sam was. Then, at the Folk Center, a waitress there gave Sam special treatment by replacing his cold pancakes with fresh ones. Sam mentioned something about his cold syrup and she came back shortly with a cup of hot pancake syrup! After leaving the “Skillet”, Tammy, Stuart, Boyd and Debbie made a stop by the old rock amphitheatre where a wedding had just taken place. I think the rain had dampened the ceremony a bit.
Back in town, we wondered around until we couldn’t stand it any longer… Tammy, Stuart, Boyd and Andy Nichols went back for instruments and soon they were picking under a shade tree down town. Before long, all of Hard 2 Git and a pretty big crowd filled the yard. We finally broke up in time to make our dinner engagement at Country Time restaurant, which was also a surprise birthday party for Debbie Nichols and Abby Hayes. After dinner we returned to the town courthouse yard and listened to the Nichols family put on an excellent show. Stuart and Boyd joined the Nichol’s for a few songs before they concluded and then Hard 2 Git took the grassy stage. There was a LARGE crowd gathered to hear both groups. We all went back to the cabins afterward and…I don’t remember for sure, but...we probably played more music!
