Dan Roby is the most pleasant human you will ever encounter, he spent years living in Sweeden, has a bee tattoo, is digging out his basement for a literal 'man cave'. He is wonderful and has taken a liken to me and Drew. So when he asked Drew and I to join him at a “concert" we gladly said yes without knowing the night would cost us 50 bucks each.
Dan went early in line, 4 hours early to sit and do a crossword puzzle out of the paper and finish the sudoku puzzle. (he is the weirdest human)
We joined the line about a half hour before the doors opened, and search as we might there was no one our age, no one even close to looking our age. And all those old people were killing time waiting with backgammon, reading, knitting, drinking wine, without a cell phone in site. So comical.
The amphitheater was stunning, slightly overcast that made for no harsh sun and an amazing sunset.
Companion House Prairie has been an ongoing radio show for 30 years. And basically the little crew that makes it all happen was on stage and we witnessed a show together. (Front and center Dan got us great seats)
Garrison Keillor is a storyteller extraordinaire, holding everyone captive with his half asleep walk, his half asleep face, and his deep voice with a razor sharp wit. The sound effect guy blew us all away and the guest singer Sara was darling, and the piano man could not be more wonderful.
I got quite coked up at this funny old tune. .
(But you have to imagine Garrison singing it in is deep old man voice)
And a song about loving your Aunts and Uncles got Drew pretty good.
We set up our chairs and blankets, brought snacks galore and some home-brewed Kombucha and let the night slip away.
The entire night made me feel timeless, hoping to remember the simple things in life- Rocky mountains, story telling, true blue friends, good music and love.
Summer in its finest. Well worth 50 bucks, I would pay 100 to do it all over again.
