Tedeschi Trucks Band and Gary Clark Jr. at RED ROCKS

My birthday present from Lenny was a ticket to see Tedeschi Trucks Band and (opening) Gary Clark Jr. at Red Rocks! Lenny, Lexey, my parents, and Lexey's parents all went - it was a great group, a great concert, and a great night! Sean was also going to come with us but the opening of his food truck ended up being the next day and he wasn't able to make it.

It sprinkled a bit when we first arrived but the evening cleared up... it was nice and cool at the amphitheater ...and included a double rainbow to make the amazing location even more amazing.

Quick video clip of one song and the stunning location (the sound within this natural amphitheater is incredible)...

Gabriel's Bar - Manarola's Music

Paolo and his buddies play live music each night in a (The) bar in Manarola. It's a great time... we went each night!

Lips on the trumpet... and our lovely apartment renter:

Marco - the flamingo flutist!

Gabriel owns this bar... and I think of it as 'Gabriel's Bar'... but in looking up the real name, it is La Cantina Dello Zio Bramante.

Mr. Mustard!

My parents love a Beatles tribute band, Mr. Mustard... all but one of the guys in the band grew up going to school with my dad. They are great! We went to see them play in Pittsford along the Erie Canal... and then went again the next night in a bar.

Outside along the Canal...

...Right on the Erie Canal!
