Jamming in Wisconsin

The first weekend in April we went up to Milwaukee.  Jim's sister, Karen, put together an All Star show at a local bar.  She organized musicians into 3 bands to play for about an hour each.  After the three bands played, her band Ruby Street played.  Jim, his brother Paul, and sister Karen were in the second band, along with another guy, John, who played bass.  It was a lot of fun!  Below are some pictures, but you can also see some videos on You Tube.

When Ruby Street performed, Karen played guitar, sang, and played the tambourine.

Our friends Will and Jean came out for the show. 

When we left Milwaukee on Sunday, it was sleeting and cold.  The high in St. Louis that day was 90 degrees!  We were sorry to miss the warm St. Louis weather, but when we stopped at a rest stop on the way home, we were able to enjoy the nice (and quite windy) weather.

 Here's a cute picture of Jim and Patrick walking back to the car to continue our journey home.
