Chairmen of the Board

As I have mentioned before, David and I, along with a couple of our friends go to Larkin's Rhythm on the River every Thursday night. It is a park in downtown Greenville, SC right along the banks of the Reedy River where a stage is set up and each week a different group is there to entertain us. This past Thursday it was General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board. We have seen them perform in the past at the Apple Festival in Hendersonville, NC. The show was great. It was the largest crowd so far for the shows there. Usually there is a grassy area in front of the stage for people to dance but this week as soon as the band was introduced there was an onslaught of fans who rushed to the stage and filled in the grassy area. They remained there for the entire show so there was no room for the dancers. Below are a few photos from the night. David ran into an old school buddy of his, Bill, during intermission. How cool! There were in the master's program together and had not seen each other in nine years.
I had to have my picture taken with this sign. There is a Donovan song called Lord of the Reedy River and I have wanted my picture taken with this sign ever since I first saw it.

David and Bill, long time no see
