Picnic in the Park: Erik Ray

Now that Tammy has left I am attending the Kalispell Picnic in the Park music events again.  She didn't like the music played there and we stopped going.

Same old, same old.  Never on time for the music.  I had to finish working on a fence before I could go.

The event seems to be the same.  Bring your own chair or sit on the lawn.  Same amount of people attending.  One difference is I don't remember so many ugly and/or fat people attending.  Hoo Boy!

The music was good.  Erik Ray was a one man band.  He played mostly acoustic guitar with a little harmonica and kick drum tossed in.  For a zydeco number he played accordion and appeared to sing part of the song in Cajun.  The songs were mainly old time blues and old time country with a little rock, zydeco, swing, and polka tossed in.  A few songs were originals.

For the zydeco song he had a couple of girls from the audience accompany him on washboard.
