Rocktober Music Fest - 2019 - and other October Oddities - Rock Paper Scissors and World Card Making Day

I hope I did a reasonably good job of connecting yesterday's World Smile Day and the Rocktober Music Fest with James Taylor and "Your Smiling Face."

Today I have triple duty with the #RMF, World Card Making Day and the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt of "-tast-"   Let's see...

Looking back on our concerts, I found the Rock Paper Scissors tour done by Peter Gabriel and Sting in 2016!

I wasn't so sure about this one because while I like Genesis (the band Peter Gabriel was with) and The Police (the band Sting was with) and there are a few of their individual songs that I like, I didn't know what a concert with just the two of them would be like. 

To top it off, when I was reading about the tour, it said that Peter would be singing some of Sting's songs and vice versa.

                                                                                                                                                  You know how it is when you are used to a song a certain way and when someone else sings it, it's not quite right?   

Actually it turned out to be a very good show.  Not "fantastic" and not sure that I would see them again but glad we did this time.  

A bit of the concert, one of my favorites, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."

So, with Rock, Paper and Scissors I can connect to World Card Making Day because I listen to Rock while I work with Paper and Scissors to make my cards.  This is what I am working on right now in preparation for the holidays:

Some new gift card holders.  They'll soon be up in the Etsy Shop.  So, how'd I do?  Was I able to connect all three reasonably?  Happy Saturday everyone.  

Jumpin' July

July 24 -

Our last concert for July was the Rock, Paper, Scissors Tour with Peter Gabriel and Sting.

We had seats on the floor but not too close.  Still, we had a great time.  Fortunately, the big screen allowed me to get some pretty decent pictures.  Both Peter Gabriel and Sting stayed on stage for almost the whole show.  There was no intermission and they just sang song after song.  

There was a little playful banter between the two and although there were a lot of songs I wasn't familiar with, most of them I knew and could sing along.  

They had an interesting stage set and they each had their own band members so there was a lot of activity. 

 I made a rookie mistake, though and didn't completely charge my camera batteries after the last concert so my camera died before the end of the show.  I also had very little room on my camera, but I deleted some apps and managed to catch some more pictures and a video.  I'll try not to make that mistake again! 

Sledgehammer was the finale and it was a good one.  

We have three more shows coming up in August, with the first being ADELE.  Stay tuned!
