Great rock and roll.

Lee notes there is always time to kill during the day at music festivals because bands don't usually hit the stage until late afternoon. So, we spend the day cleaning up things around the Schooner. And we fire up one of our generators so we have power for our laptops, cell phones, storage device and microwave. We are definitely not roughing it.
Tonight we enjoyed Helix, Sweet, Foghat and Nazareth. A great evening. We were back in the Schooner by about 1 AM.
These are the best of times - yes, lyrics from a Styx song come to mind."A.D. 1928 / Rockin' the Paradise" is a song by American rock band Styx, released as the fourth single from their tenth album Paradise Theatre. A Zwaal version after yesterday's jaunt to the stage:
Tonight's the night we'll make history: Here at the Rockin' Fields!
Tonight's the night we'll make history
Buddy, you and I
'Cause we'll take the risk to tie back the hands of time
And rock with you here tonight
We've made it through the worst of times
With our travels through
When Covid locked the doors, we hid inside
Rumor had it was the end of paradise
But I know, the world just passed us by
Baby I know, we didn't have to cry, no no
The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine
We've made this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We took the best, forgot the rest
And today we find these are the best of times
These are the best of times
The headlines read "These were the worst of times"
You may believe it's true
We felt so helpless like a boat against the tide
And wished the summer winds could bring back paradise
But I know, when the world turned upside down
Baby, I knew you'd always be around
The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we make this a world for two
When I'm alone with you (the best of times)
Everything's alright (are when I'm alone with you)
When I'm alone with you (some rain some shine)
You brighten up the night (we'll make this a world for two) said, when I'm alone
