How I Cured Those April Winter Blues: Barhopping, CCR and Yardwork

SATURDAY, APRIL 21

We met up with several of our Usual Suspects group at Squaw Bar in Ingleside for the Chain Crawl signup. We are all boaters.

We stayed there for awhile, then went over to Oak Park Lounge on Pistakee Lake to see Bomber the bar dog and have a couple, three, four beers.  Oak Park Lounge looks essentially the way it did in 1900 as we see in pictures around the bar.  It is good to see a place remain the same.

Then, it was on to Sunnyside in Johnsburg for some more.

SUNDAY, APRIL 22

Bob Stroud spotlighted Creedence Clearwater Revival, my favorite 1960s band, on his Rock and Roll Roots  show on WDRV, 97.1 FM.  he did this because of the group's rhythm section of Stu Cook and Doug Clifford's  (Cosmo) birthdays coming up next week.  Always great to hear their music.

Then I went outside for my first day of yardwork on a real nice day for weather, something we've not had during April.  It has been quite cold and windy.

Later, we went to Sunnyside and had a good time with oldies music and the friendly folks there.
