Making Music in McCall

July 19, Tuesday

Made a visit to Jeff today.  Jeff is a barber in  McCall that I always saw sitting in a chair in front of his barber shop on 3rd Street and I never stopped in.  This year I told myself that I was going to get a hair cut from Jeff, because it looked like he needed the business and I would hate to be the cause of his having to leave town.  So when we got here and we were driving down 3rd Street, I didn't see Jeff and I didn't see the barber shop. So, I asked around and found out that Jeff had relocated his business up near the airport.  I found his shop and had a good conversation, he is a talker, a Number 2 all the way and his price was right $10.  He call his ship Walk In Hair Cuts.  He giving out punch cards, 10 hair cuts and you get the next one free.  I told him it would take me 10 years to get a free cut.

The reason I got a hair cut was tonight was concert night.  Sharon and I bought a season pass to the McCall Music Festival, three nights of orchestra music, just up my alley, Nancy talked me into it. Before the concert we went with Al and Nancy for dinner at Anchor, good as usual, except for the metal ice cubes in the Jameson on the rocks, the weren't cold enough.  Needed to add additional ice.



The concert was good.  It is amazing that a small town like McCall, Idaho and put together an orchestra of this caliber plus individual performers that are top of the line, but they do and do a great job.  This might sound boring to those of you that are not classical music fans, but tonight was
Tchaikovsky night, two wonderful hours of Tchaikovsky.  First was Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, featuring Tim Fain on the Violin.  The Finale was Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64.  I had to look up how to spell Tchaikovsky.  



Almost a full moon with a very colorful sky after the concert.
