The 55 Party Music! and Thanks! 

If it wasn't great enough that we had beautiful weather at this Kensington picnic, with lots of friends and food and fresh air, the party music was uniquely fun, featuring live performances by several of our ex-BHS friends.  The party shelter served as the stage area, protecting drums, amplifiers, wiring, etc., under threat of rain (and we only got a few drops, although/because we had set up a food tent just in case...). The performers were talented, diverse, sounded great and were greatly enjoyed!

This page provides links to access more information about them/their music.   If anyone has corrections/updates/comments about anything related to this, please (contact us)! 

The afternoon's outdoor music festival was a very cool happening.  Great thanks to Rick S for not only playing guitar and singing, but for providing the generator, organizing the Jam Band, and producing the show.  Great thanks to Greg M and his band members, the Front Street Blues Band, for not only performing, but bringing the PA system, too!  Special thanks to Jan Krist for heroically travelling great distances under significant fatigue to join us, and for winging it virtually solo but beautifully nonetheless.  Thanks to all of the "XBHS" Jam Band (or was it the Berkley Boys Bucket Band?) musicians, Jeff Grand, Rick S, Mark P, Greg Manning, Tom H, Irv Hordes, both Dan F's, Bob C, and Claudette!  (Was anyone omitted?)
