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 Inspired by STYX "Rockin' the Paradise"
