Hot Summer Nights

... sponsored by Bud Light.

This is a fabulous Vail Summer tradition, every Tuesday evening there is a 'free' concert in the Gerald Ford Amphitheatre which is part covered and part outside. The accoustics are fab and the setting gorgeous, surrounded by mountains and pine trees.

Gavin called me from his bicycle to say people were arriving for something so get down here quickly, which I did. We had no idea what was showing and it turned out to be 'The Wailers' as in Bob Marley fame. They have a new lead and were utterly brilliant and we had a fantastic evening sitting on the grass drinking Margharitas listening to Reggae. We'll definitely be back but this week it is a famous Country and/or Western singer (not sure of the difference - if anyone can explain it would be much appreciated).

Anyway as usual click here for some pics!

Not sure if there is a difference between country and western music in the good ole' US of A. I always thought it was "counry western" music. Did you guys get a chance to enjoy some fireworks for Independence day? I imagine they have some great celebrations up there in the mountains. Rain is slowing down here in Mumbai a bit, although it might just be that it is following me around. I just returned from some solo travelling in Jaipur where it was raining like crazy! Luke and I are off for Delhi and Agra to see the capital city and of course the Taj later next week. Looking forward to it! Will send an update. Until then.... Enjoy the mountains!!

Oh hey, that is country not counry... although you might find a few down south that pronounce it that way.
