Gilbert & Sullivan Singout
On June 4, Greg and I played for a Gilbert & Sullivan Singout in Orlando. It took place in the home of one of the G & S enthusiasts. Participants (around 30, not counting the instrumentalists) came from as far away as England, Seattle, and Virginia. Throughout the day, they performed 6 comic operettas, and the orchestra accompanied three of them. It was a lot of fun!
Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and Fort Matanzas
We took a day trip to both the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and Fort Matanzas on July 23.The Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the second largest in the country, standing 175 feet tall. Its building was complete in 1887, when the area was known as
Mosquito Inlet. We all climbed the 203 steps to the top, and boy was that hot & exhausting! You can see how neat the spiral staircase looked from inside, especially if you click on it to enlarge.
Fort Matanzas is a Spanish outpost fort, built in 1740-1742, and located on Rattlesnake Island. I took a photo of Antony and his girlfriend, Megan, while we were waiting for the ferry to take us to the fort. You can also see a very thirsty Michael, trying to eat his way through the water bottle! 
We had a great time, exploring some wonderful historical sites.

Jimmy Buffet summer 2004
Marc and Patty having a great time at the buffett concert. We try to make it an annual event, but just can't seem to get tickets every year. They sell out in 10 seconds. Very popular in DC!!!!! We love to go, even if we go just for the tail gate. We couldn't go this year due to other conflicts, but we finally got the pics developed from last years big fest!!!
Anyone for a holiday?
Bob and I at Jimmy Buffett in 2004. What a great time. We went with our Friends Patty and Marc Weibley in Washington DC. We couldn't go this year, but I just got the pictures developed (finally!) A lot of "scene" pics were on the roll, most not worthy of posting, but a few were. The was the one we liked the best........ Party on Garth!!!!
