Monday 2-18 William Florian Show

Smile and have fun

We woke up to a cool morning with a north wind. The temperature got into the 60s, very pleasant. 

We started the day out by going to town to get Larry's hair cut. We got  to Supercuts before they opened and by the time they opened there were a few people waiting. Luckily there were two hairstylists. Larry got right in and out. They did an excellent job.

On the way home we stopped by a local park to walk and get a bit of exercise. There were quite a number of young folks participating in a workout program, they were laughing and having a great time.

In the afternoon we decided to go to Bronc Wise's A2 Workshop/Dance. Our friends from Sun City were there (John & Diane, Mike & Brenda, Bruce & Pam). It has been over two months since we have seen them. Our friends Jim and Mary Beth from the Tyler area were also there. Bronc worked on Trail Off and Checkmate the Column. He put us in different positions with both moves which made it challenging. We had three squares plus an extra couple. We were told that today was the last week for this workshop/dance because Bronc only had the hall through February and he will be out of town next Monday. We had a fun time dancing to him and with friends.

Having fun with friends

In the evening I went over to the recreation hall to listen to William Florian, he was the former lead singer of the famous 60's band The New Christy Minstrels. He did the greatest hit songs from the 60's from The Mamas & The Papas, Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver, Pete Seeger and The New Christy Minstrels. While performing he told stories of his life in a humorous way. The songs he sang everyone knew so we sang along with him. He had Linda join him when he sang "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane". At the end he had a few people come on stage to be the Mamas & Papas when he sang one of their songs. The closing song was "You Are My Sunshine". William did a great performance.
