Even better Yukon sunsets

27 Jun

I know a few of you come especially for the “life in the Yukon” content, so I couldn’t let this opportunity go by.  A photographer far better than I was out capturing the skies this past beautiful Wednesday night, so if you want to see what it was really like go on over and check out the three photos posted by Murray Lundberg on his ExploreNorth Blog.

Garden party

27 Jun

I’m trying to squeeze in as much performing as possible this summer because I know that I will be on hiatus for a while after Nugget makes his or her appearance. So when I heard about this Garden Party, I eagerly jumped onto the bandwagon. I’ll be doing background music, so there’ll be folks talking and eating while I play, but I don’t mind that. Besides, I get to partake in the dinner, and the menu sound fantastic (see below)! I’ll be playing from 5:00 to 5:40 — while soups and salads are being served, I believe.

Here’s the official invite:
