More of Glenn Miller Festival photos---and we prepare to leave with travel trailer

 75º F (24º C for Netherland friends) here in Clarinda, IA at 11:40 am Wednesday.  

As you can see, 81º for high today but in mid to upper 90's this weekend here.

We will be in Schuyler, NE for 10 days starting this weekend. They are showing over 100º for couple days and almost 100º before and after those two days!  Hope trailer A/C is working!

I had been considering some sort of shade for the A/C Compressor which is on the west side of our house and takes a lot of late afternoon sun.  But, came up with idea of a tree.  This Grace Smoke Tree/Shrub is to grow to 12-15 feet so it should do the job.  Photo at right shows our neighbor's garage.

This photo shows the new tree west of the A/C Condenser by our house.

Click HERE  to hear what I recorded on the Square last Thursday of the local Glenn Miller Band - playing in photo at right.

Click HERE to hear the one Bill Baker's Big Band from Netherlands tune that I recorded.  They played many at each of the three performances they did.

I was near the video stand that Chris Gardner, from Wisconsin, had and he recorded all events at the Festival except the Instrumental and Voice competition on Thursday.  Click HERE  to go to his You Tube page.  He has many videos up of previous Glenn Miller Festivals and, give him a little time, he will have videos up for this year's performances.

Here is Chris and his

equipment at the 

back of the auditorium.

Will throw in picture of the band getting their luggage/instruments out of the trailer and going into Delta departure area at Kansas City Airport Monday.  Just heard from Maarten and what was to be about 24 hour trip had almost an extra day added with connection problems, etc.  They are glad to be home!

Couple photos of the three band members from Netherlands eating at our place.

Well, I have spent several hours on videos, photo editing, and this blog.  Will continue with some more photos another time.

tot ziens until then, Lynn
