A mule comes to the Ranch

A mule comes to the Ranch

Big thanks to Bill Kottyan and Athens Sportscycles for lending us his mule to ferry people from our new parking lot to the nerve center of Arts And Minds here at the Fur peace Ranch!. It was a beautifully hot but dry Ohio day, and everyone who rode appreciated it!

Check out Megan’s work, you’re gonna love it.

Then as evening fell it was time for the long awaited return of It’s A Beautiful Day… with David and Linda LaFlamme.

They did a beautiful show… no surprise there… and I got to sit in for some numbers in both sets.

What a night!

Old friends get together!

    Thanks to Jorma, Vanessa, John and the entire staff for such an amazing and most memorable weekend. Totally blown away by the beautiful facilities, the wonderful people, the peaceful vibe and great music. Thank you for giving me to the opportunity to be there, perform with my musical compadre Marshall Ballew, to stay over at the Ranch for the weekend and witness the 2 fantastic concerts. A weekend and experience that I will always treasure.

    Jorma, I’ll bet your set on the lawn musta been special. My first trip to the ranch, when you did an hour set without amplification in the library was one of my “I’ve arrived” moments. My life has changed so much in the last 6yrs. I’m so grateful you’re a big part of my lifes inspiration.
    Have a great time with Jack tonight Jorma, you and him so deserve it! Wish I could be there. Seeya in the west this autumn.
