Picnic Park music

Tuesday night Tammy and I headed into Kalispell to attend the final Picnic in the Park concert of the season.  The band playing was the Tropical Montana Marimba Ensemble.  They are a local group of musicians who mainly play percussion instruments and melodies from the tropics to Africa.  You can sample some of their music on cdbaby.

The music was fun and lively - though to Tammy most of the songs sounded the same.  I was imagining sea breezes and margaritas.

At the concert was my neighbor who was having problems with the beavers and their dam.  She and her son had to clear the dam last weekend as Bonneville Power appears to be refusing to own up to maintaining their culvert.  At least it appears the beavers haven't rebuilt the dam since then which may give the lawyers time to solve the problem of maintenance.

Also at the concert was Gary.  I hadn't seen him in almost a year when he and I hiked up to Heavan's Peak lookout.

Lastly the concert organizers celebrated Scott Johnston's birthday and made him a birthday outfit.  The back of the cape said "Birthday Boy".  I missed getting a photo of the back.

While the days have been warm the temperature drops as soon as the sun goes down and Tammy was cold by the time the concert ended after dark.  It is hard to remember to bring a sweater or jacket when a few hours earlier it was hot.
