Labor Day weekend in New Ulm, MN

Labor Day weekend took us to Minnesota for two shows--a return visit to the Kick'n Up Kountry festival in Thief River Falls and a trip to my hometown of New Ulm--or Happy Town, USA as Sarah once called it. My godson, Deivin, called our show his first country concert and he came appropriately dressed donning his cowboy hat.

Somehow it seems that food always shows up at a Mustang Sally concert. This time it was cake--lots and lots of cake. Not only were my brother and I surprised with birthday cakes (guitar cake for me, "bustier" cake for him,) but there was a beautiful three-tiered anniversary cake for my parents. At one point we even got Mom and Dad out on the floor for a slow dance.

Thanks to Kris Schwab for the lovely cakes, thanks to Vicky and Lonnie Spaeth for your hospitality and opening your home to us (Lonnie, Tobi says better luck next time at the pool table!!), thanks to the New Ulm Journal for the great articles, and thanks to all my family and friends who came out to see the show.

Like the Jon Bon Jovi song says, "Who says you can't go home. There's only one place they call you one of their own." Thanks Mom and Dad for bringing Mustang Sally back to town and thanks for all the goodies from the garden and the kitchen. It was great to come back home, if only for one day.
