[Leica] Fun was had by all....

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Duke lives in my father-in-law's neighborhood in Sun City, CA.  Starting 
last year, after the death of his wife, he hosted a music potluck.  They 
were both into bluegrass music, and use to travel the country to hear it.  
He invited some musician friends and then invited the whole neighborhood to 
a night of music and food.  This year the weather was nippy, so not as many 
of the old folks in the neighborhood came, but those who did bundled up, 
dragged their chairs and brought food to the event.  Duke even provides golf 
cart transportation to some of the neighbors who have a hard time walking.

My father-in-law and I are the "official" photographers, so here is a 
selection of my attempts.  Nothing outstanding, but fun.

The venue is simple, yet effective:

The musicians are willing and able.

Duke even picks up the base once in a while.

The whole neighborhood is invited, even if you have 4 legs.

Hey, they don't look 55 or older.

Walking home, chairs and empty dishes in hand.
