The
old La Tierra caliche pit made a terrific amphitheater for
the event, with seating on 3 levels. The 160 attendees could
really stretch out and get comfy. Photo

Then,
for the main attraction - Rob Gjersoe, recently returned
from touring with the Green Cards, accompanied the great
Jimmie Dale Gilmore
with
some
fabulous
guitar pickin'. Jimmie shined as always.

| Old
friends and musical partners, Jimmie and Rob found
the groove and stayed there 'til the sun went down. What
a party! Thanks to all the musicians and volunteers, not
to mention all the attendees who made this benefit a success.
