Lake Wales
Last Friday and Saturday Sheryl and I journeyed to Lake Wales to play at the Highlander Bar and Grill. This was at the invitation of the owner, Robert, who had heard about Sheryl from Bryan Rivers, who regularly plays there.
We were scheduled to play both Friday and Saturday night, so we decided to stay in Lake Wales on Friday night at the new Hidden Gardens Bed and Breakfast. The B&B was so new, in fact, that we were their first guests! Since they only had one room finished, we had the while place to ourselves. Eventually, they plan to have four rooms.
Lakes Wales reminded us of Mayberry! Everyone was friendly, and they all seemed to know each other. Robert was the town’s “Andy Taylor.” (There didn’t seem to be a “Barney Fife” or an “Otis”, however.)
Not only did he own the Highlander, but he also had a real estate office, and was getting ready to announce his candidacy for the city council. His wife Susan owns an art gallery in the downtown area, and also works as a flight attendant.
We played from 7 to 11PM each night, and performed a mixture of cover tunes and Sheryl’s originals. It was great fun!
We’ll be going back and doing it again in August. We’ve already booked our room at the Hidden Gardens B&B.
By the way, this is the 100th post to this blog!
I don’t know if this should be commemorated in any way, but it has to be some kind of milestone!

OK, so I changed the lyrics a little!
