An evening with good friends. July 23, 2015

 These are our friends, Joe and Barb.  It seems we don't get together near enough but when we do, we always have such a great time, we enjoy each others company and always have much to visit about.
 We had a fun tasty meal at the Route 16 Diner in Hill City.  The guys had to act it up by the mens room sign. 
You never know what might happen when this pair gets together.  

We were very thankful to Barb and Joe inviting us to the "BRULE" music program at an outdoor theater and stage.         This beautiful painted buffalo is on the grounds. Barb and I just had to have our picture with it.  

 The music is fantastic and the dancers put on a spectacular colorful show.  Notice the beautiful Eagle costume,  the dancing was very graceful and realistic. 



 "BRULE" band  is led by Paul LaRoche.  He was born in Lower Brule Sioux Reservation but adopted and raised by a wonderful couple from Worthington, MN. 


 The flute player is his daughter, Nicole 
and his son Shane is on Guitar. 
 The drummer who you can see 
in below picture is Vlasis Pergakis. 

 After the very enjoyable concert, the dancers and band members came out to shake hands and pose for pictures with audience members.  
Barb enjoying greeting  and thanking one of the very talented dancers.

This shows how beautiful Paul LaRoche shirt was as he is
 greeting many from the concert audience.

We enjoyed the evening from beginning to end.  We have to make a point to spend more time with our friends. 
 It is always a special time.
