Alone With Friends at Davey's
Most of the time, if you see Nate Gawron on stage, he's playing the upright with The Wilders, or electric bass with Switchitter, (more about this band later) but on April 14, he sat down with his guitar, songbook of original tunes and a few fellow Kansas City musicians for an awesome show. Nate, covered a little Waylon, Hank, and Kristofferson, but treated us to his own songs for the majority of the night and well, he gave the 'ol boys a run for their money.
Garrett White, Eddie Crane and Sterling Brown, three amazing Kansas City musicians and friends sat in for a few songs.

Nelson Atkins Museum goes Native
Culture called today...it said, "Get yourself and that kid of yours to a museum and broaden your horizons...you can't spend all day watching old westerns." So my little blonde sidekick and I hit the Nelson-Atkins Museum to browse the 2nd floor Native American Exhibit. She likes to play tour guide and within minutes had convinced a few kids from a school tour to check out "a bunch of awesome."
Those boys were such good sports and survived a 15 minute dissertation on Native American culture from a 4 year old. Having watched many old movies with Mama, she actually knows her stuff!
The photo doesn't show the full-length and of course does the colors and detail no justice but it was so beautiful and regal and kind of remarkable to imagine just what kind of brave and wild and amazing man wore it. I was struck by how ironic it was to be enclosed in climate controlled glass, positioned on a stainless steel rack, under pin lights...suspended in space among Victorian era oil paintings, bronze Buddha statues, Frank Lloyd Right camp chairs, etc.
