A long and soggy rainy season brought recent flooding to the Heartland almost reminescent of the famous regional painting ” Spring on the Missouri” by native son Thomas Hart Benton. The over-saturated Earth generously gave up some of its waters to the basement BRC workshop that required a few days of clean-up.
The first real day of summer finally arrived on the second Saturday of June just in time for the Safe Kids Discovery Day fest (see placard) at the Children`s Hospital. This fun carnival is part of a nationwide educational program for children and families to learn injury prevention behaviors.
The BRC founder`s band opened the stage show and then held an interactive jam session for kids and parents to learn more about stringed instruments and traditional Bluegrass music.
It was a glorious summer day followed promptly by rain showers the next morning.
P.S. Watch for a BRC “Peace Dove” banjo on e-bay June 17-24 (sold). Upon receipt, the new owner emailed, “The banjo is beautiful and sounds great.”
