The rain passed through this morning so we had sun all day long. This concert was at MG Petersons Family restaurant so we booked a table before hand. Once we got there on the 7A bus we were so pleased to have a reservation, as we were seated front and center. Our view of the Spirit of New Orleans band was straight on. They were entertaining and well worth watching. Center stage was a white haired old banjo player who was Danish but could have been from Hee-Haw. There were five guys up on stage with the two horns taking front stage. The bass and the drums were squeezed in the back. The bass player did manage to lean his bass into the action a few times and he got to sing a few tunes. Great food and the music was so infectious that people got up to dance. A dozen or more were spinning each other around the front of the stage
