I must admit that I've held my nose up in the air about the Copia as being too tourisie oriented. However, now I have to eat my words. They're putting on more concerts that locals like to attend. So when you're in town, here's something you can do. Check them out at www.copia.org. They've got blues harmonica man Charlie Musselwhite coming August 17. They also show classic films on Friday nights like Roman Holiday on August 21 and Shulze Gets the Blues on August 28. By the way, Sequoia Grove is one of the sponsors of the concert series. You can't bring wine in, however, you can buy Sequoia Grove. If you look real close, you can see their tasting room gang just above Zoey's head. I'll try to get a picture of them next time. I know. It's hard to take the camera off Zoey.
Another great park concert happens ever second Thursday at St. Helena's Lyman Park. We have bluegrass coming up on the 10th, and jazz on the 24th. I go every time with my mother and Zoey, with Cheryl usually joining us by half-time (somebody has to work). We get there around 5:15 with our blanket and low-backed chairs, crackers and cheese, sushi, and a bottle of our favorite.
