Alaskan Beauty


We have had the opportunity to spend several weeks in Alaska this summer enjoying the natural beauty around us. The weather was unseasonably nice for us. Here are some pictures from one of the most beautiful places in the world, Glacier Bay. It was a picture perfect day. These pictures are of what is known as "calving." Basically, we stand around waiting for ice to melt. Truly magnificent:






One of Jeff's goals has been to capture the perfect eagle picture. Here are a few of a playful eagle around the glaciers. He is still searching for the perfect shot:






The captain graciously let me steer the ship through the glaciers. Apparently he wasn't thrilled with my driving skills:

Three Dog Night

Last Tuesday we had the honor of opening for the iconic rock and roll band Three Dog Night at the Washington State Convention Center. The crowd was incredible and Three Dog Night sounded as good as they ever have. This is a small recording of their song "Black and White." Of course everyone was waiting for the song "Joy To the World" and when they encored with it, the place went crazy. They are one of the few band from the 60's with all of the original members.

We played an hour set to open the show and then played for 45 minutes to close out the evening. Funny enough, the crowd chanted for us to end with the song "Free Bird" and "Shook Me All Night Long." So we played a medley of the two. Of course we didn't play any Three Dog Night songs.
