This week Sonny came to town and we have been having a delightful visit. After our Cavaliers gave him a warm (and wet) Oklahoma welcome, we all (Janice and I and Sonny and the other member of the OKCLUG, Ken Carney and his wife Susan) went out to a Thai restaurant for supper. They sure do know how to spice their food. We were offered our choice on a scale of 1 to 5 and chose 3. After a few bites I was sweating and begging for more water. Sonny just smiled and said this was the first food he'd had in Oklahoma that tasted like home. I'll let him you tell you about his son Eric, the bassist, who is here attending an impressive gathering of musicians. This is quite an accomplishment for a high school student and Sonny is rightfully proud. Attached is a photo I took in our backyard, before we left for supper, of Ken and Sonny displaying their, ummm, hardware. (Ken is on the left for you newbies.) I didn't watch the light very well and caught Sonny squinting into the sun. Despite what the faux frame says, this was shot with my Canon 5D. LEICA HAS NOT YET SENT ME THE PROMISED REPLACEMENT FOR MY DEFECTIVE M8. Well, they say they have, but its not here yet. And in honor of the Beneluggers, Ken is holding a bottle of Leffe Blonde. Sonny, who holds his camera properly, has set down his Grimbergen Double Ale. http://www.bobbaron.com/OKCLUG_Ken_SonC.jpg --Bob ==On June 5 2007 Sonny Carter wrote: > I am visiting Oklahoma City this week, because my son is a double bassist. > I'll get to that in a later post. > > One of the perks of OK City is that Bob Baron lives here.
