The Best Evening at Czars

Where do I start. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks to all of the fellow musicians, friends and family for coming out to Czar's last night. What an amazing turn out. How do I pick from all of the great photos we have- I'm going to work on getting a slide show on here so you can see all (they are all on facebook). Dave had so much fun seeing everyone and tried to talk to as many people as he could. If we missed you- know how much we appreciated the evening and sorry. From great food and cookies (by the cookie party members) for sale, a couple raffles, special drinks to the most talented musicians who gave their hearts and music to us all....... I can't find the words to say how much this really meant to us.

We got home and then to bed about 4 am. Dave slept until 3 pm and he deserved it. It was maybe a little too much for him at times- but he wouldn't have missed it for the world. Someone suggested we should have had a recliner for him in the middle of the dance floor- dang good idea. I know a highlight for us all was Mr Bowen, our high school choir director and music theory teacher, came down with his wife. Then Bob Brown, Dave's high school band director, and his wife flew in from Florida. Rob and Karen Varpa drove in from Minneapolis, Rob played some drums during the jams at the end of the evening. AND David Bartz came in from California.... without warning. I know I can speak for Dave and say we have the best friends and family. Thanks for your support and love.
