female on the bagpipes

One of the more popular entries on this blog has been this one of a female bagpipe player in the 2009 Ashland Fourth of July Parade. Thousands of people have viewed her in the past five years.

Today’s photo is from the 2014 parade.

Ashland 4th of July parade fly over

We are off to the Big Island today for eight nights in paradise. I’m not going to leave loyal watchers of this blog with nothing for that duration though. Instead, I’ll post something each day from the 4th of July Parade earlier this month in Ashland. If you want to see some pics from Hawaii, check out my other blog.

Today’s photo is of the “fly over” at the start of the parade. They actually did a fly over and then a fly back over this year. I haven’t seen that before, but I’ve missed more than half of the parades in recent years.

Jonathon McKinnon of Numinosum

I’m hoping Numinosum’s show at Johnny B’s a few nights ago wasn’t a one-off kind of deal.

My neighbors’ flamingos briefly went back to their Memorial Day look for the 4th of July, but last week they decided to go with a second summer look. The first summer look, you may remember, featured a hula theme. This new look has them slipping on their flip-flops, shades, and heading to the pool.

The Delineators with the burrito man @ Club 66

The Delineators are always fun to watch and easy to listen to with their surf rock tunes. But my favorite part of their set is the Blue Oyster Cult medley in which an audience member is handed a cowbell and told to go at it. At their show earlier this week that person turned out to be one of the finest burrito makers north of the Mexican border. I don’t know his name, but you can find him in the food court of the Stevenson Union once SOU begins again in fall (assuming he didn’t graduate).
