Sara and I have been married now for exactly 1,250 days! We've had some great times amid those many days, but one of the best ever was the night we went to the Draper Days festival back in Utah and I made a complete ninny of myself on stage, thereby winning an electric guitar signed by The Beach Boys. After my spectacle was over we stayed and listend to a Beatles Tribute band and watched the fireworks. It was a fabulous night!Since then we've been crazy about watching Beatles Tribute bands. We've learned that a summer night featuring the Faux Fab Four always leads to a lot of fun. Sara either had her belly or her arms full of Zoe last Summer, rendering us unable to see any Tribute bands, so this year we made up for it by going all the way down to Kenosha's St. Therese Church Festival to watch The Brits impersonate the world's greatest band. They did a very good job, I declare, though I can't say they were the toppermost of the poppermost. They knew every song (even the odd requests) by heart, and each band member played his instrument exactly as the album dictates. They could have used some help on their Liverputian accents, however.
This was Zoe's first experience with a mop-top, and she did not faint, but she did get down and dance with conviction, making her daddy very proud of her. Aren't outdoor summer concerts the best? It really doesn't even matter what the music is, its just a ball to sit there and listen...and chase Zoe all over the park. It was great to talk to Beatles fans both young and old there, no other band could be so recognized by such a wide variety of people (some wider than others). Paul, Ringo, if you're reading this, I love you guys!
