The Weepies' Steve Tannen on guitar
The blog entry with the prior images of The Weepies has quickly become the most popular on the site so I’ll offer you some more pics of The Weepies from their show opening for Aimee Mann in Jacksonville last week.

I’m heading to another show at Britt tonight (Cheap Trick), but I’m not bringing my camera. Today I can offer you a couple more pics from last week’s excellent Aimee Mann show though.

Opening for Aimee Mann at the Britt Festival a few nights back were The Weepies on their 2011 Acoustic Summer Tour. They had Jonny Flower on bass for most songs as well. I had never heard of The Weepies before, but most of the audience seemed to be very familiar.

Aimee Mann - Britt Festival - Jacksonville, Oregon - 8/23/11
I am a fan of Aimee Mann‘s solo work. Back in the 80s, bands like Til Tuesday were not on my radar.
Aimee Mann
The first I ever heard of Aimee Mann was on Rush’s “Time Stand Still” (video below). Alas, “Hold Your Fire” is my least favorite Rush studio album, which is saying a lot since they have 19 of them.
No, I became a fan in the 1990s when a friend put “I’m with Stupid” on his “desert island discs” list so I gave her a try; I’ve been hooked ever since.

Different season, same time of night as this prior photo for this beautiful building (historic Redmen’s Hall — circa 1884) in Jacksonville. If you look really closely you can see Allison and Victor playing inside.

This isn't the end. I have more. 😉
Mt. McLoughlin from Jacksonville, Oregon
Wrapping up this short series from Bigham’s Knoll in Jacksonville, here is the view of Mt. McLoughlin (the point covered in snow) from the top of the bell tower. Note that you normally can’t just walk up some stairs to the bell tower. I have connections. 😉
Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus Brewhaus
The interior of the aforementioned Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus in Jacksonville is nice, nicer still when it is full of people having a good time. The books on the wall are leftovers from when this was the Jacksonville School House on Bigham’s Knoll.
Schoolhaus Brewhaus
My German skills are weak, to say the least, but I’m pretty sure the sign reads Schoolhouse Brewery. This is the fairly new home of a German restaurant in Jacksonville, Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus. The building was previously a school; now the upper two floor are an unrelated business with a brewery/restaurant on the bottom floor. I had lunch at Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus for the first time recently and the food and beer were both excellent.
