It was 106 degrees. Do you think that put a damper on the first of this 3 week leg of the Summer House Concert Tour? Heck no. Fun times in Mary’s backyard. And there was freedom cake. Heck yes.

1) Concert in Kim & Jonathan’s backyard oasis, L.A.; 2) Recording in “the vocal booth”; 3) Figure skater Ashley Roche performing her national award-winning program to “Paris Can’t Have You” (how TOTALLY FREAKING COOL is that?) 4) Kitteh, purring along with 5) Meh, singing, Orangevale CA.

… like days in a holiday weekend, for instance. Here’s what I did: 1) Sacramento Music Festival. 2) Shane & Janette’s Forbidden Orchid Tiki Lounge (aka the most awesome backyard ever). 3) Me ‘n my sweetie at Bob & Sarah’s wedding reception.
