4th of July Weekend

On the 4th of July The Lonesome Hill Gang played a show at the First Assembly of God here in Steelville...I would like to say it went very well, but unfortunately it was our worst show ever! :( We just weren't sounding tight!! Grr... :P Anyway, that day Josh and Jenny Williams were coming to Wildwood Springs Lodge to spend a mini vacation and he we going to teach Nathan some guitar things...well they decided to come watch our show and you know how embarrassed I was to see them watching us in the crowd!!!! Josh is also an amazing mandolin player...

So we went to the Lodge and had supper and then The Lonesome Hill Gang played another show by the pool (for some of the Buren family), which went so much better!! And Josh actually played with us!! That was so fun!

So the next day Josh and Nathan picked while Jenny and I relaxed at the pool! That was very fun!! I got to know Jenny and had a great talk! Then some friends came and we jammed a little bit...so we had supper and I worked a little bit.

After supper we played with our friends at the pool and opened for Josh's solo show!! He did a GREAT job! Then Bob the owner of the Lodge, shot of some fireworks and they were so neat!!

The next day Josh and Jenny decided to stay one more day and went around St. James and did some relaxing things like going to a Vacuum Cleaner Museum!! :D Then they came back around 4:30pm and Josh taught me his mandolin kick off to "Cold Virginia Rain"!! He's so amazing. He was way to patient with me! :D He sat there and taught it to me till I got it perfect one time through!

So we had a blast getting to know them better...and on the two nights they stayed here we stayed up till midnight talking! :)

God bless,
