Last night I spent the evening at the Post Falls Public Library in Post Falls, Idaho. I was encouraged to stop by by some of the staff that attended my workshop. I was going to stop by anyway to snap some photos (I’ll blog about that separately) but what got me to hang around was a live show by the band Calico. They’re a bunch of aging hippies (self proclaimed) who did both originals and covers ranging from The Eagles, to Merle Haggard, to Jimmy Buffett. I got lost of photos which can be found my flickr set for this trip, and grabbed some video. In the addition to the video presented below, I also got on of them performing “Feelin’ Single Seein’ Double” and one of an older couple (who can move better that I can) dancing to “A1 on the Jukebox”.
After three of their staff attended my blogging workshop, I’m hoping they’ll use an event such as this to start to tell their library’s story. (Hint hint Joe 😉
