Hula Blues by Way of Scranton

It took me awhile but I finally managed to open and view a wonderful photo CD sent up to Saddle Hill by certified NRBQ e-mail lister Annette Caleb out of Scranton PA.

Annette drives a train for a living (yes, she's a railroad engineer!) and has not only been an NRBQ fan for ages, but has had many other wild stories to tell-she was proposed to by jazz bagpiper Rufus Harley in Philly some 30 years ago, and spent the winter of 2006-2007 living with her cats in a railroad caboose at the Steamtown National Historic Site. She was also a fixture at all of the NRBQ reunion shows/Wild Weekends, and busily did a great photo chroncile of each event. For one of them, she had each attendee hold a picture of Alfred E. Neuman up in front of them. Zany!

"caleb" also takes some not too shabby concert pics, and here's one she took of Taj "Hanapepe Dream" Mahal at the Poconos Fest in PA a couple of years ago.
