A Day Back at Work/Upcoming Shows
My first day at work was great fun. I saw several of my favorite patients, took their history, and did my best to commit their personal saga to memory and then pass it on to the doc of record for the day. It was old home week; all hugs and handshakes, high fives and homegrown tomatoes. Maybe a small town southen doc ain’t glamorous but is sure rates high for emotional satisfaction. My role is different for now, but at least I am there. Besides, where else can you get two docs for the price of one?
My Rx is working. I am feeling better and up to a few music/book shows a month.
This Saturday at 2:00 I play with Al Dunkleman at the Boiling Springs, N.C. 100th birthday celebration. This is an all day festival and we play from 2:00-3:00. There will be other local and regional bands playing too. I love festivals. My daughter will be in town. She was raised on ’em so she and my wife will be there too. Y’all come out- can’t beat the price. (it’s free) I assume there will arts and crafts and vendors and good food; usual festival fare.
And don’t forget Doyle Dykes will be at Shelby Music Center this Tuesday September 20th. There is a twenty dollar coverage charge for him but as I indicated a couple posts ago, he is more than worth it.
Hope to see you out to support live music.
Dr. B

I was wondering if you were going to sit in with Al. Sounds like lots of fun. We will be at a church Sunday night, got my train whistle for the first song” Little Black Train” by Blue Highway. Take care and glad you were able to work today. Enjoy your family this weekend.
