| Longtime close friend from my days in Santa Monica & Venice Beach...Andy Beada!!! He lives in Ft Lauderdale now and we barely see him. He met us in Jacksonville and planned to leave on Saturday but was having such a good time -- who could tell?! - that he decided to stay through Sunday. |

| On Friday, Eddie Kirkland and Willie Green & band (If wrong or I left someone out, let me know.) The man in the white hat can make a sound like a harmonica without a harp. Amazing! | The Daddy Mack band. That man can play the guitar. |

That guy in the black hat is Randy and he buys CDs of every band that plays. He does it to support them. Every band! That's cool... |
All day, this dude on top of a camper was trying to light a grill or keep it going. I think he was trying to stay warm. |
