Oops we did it again

Results of the Sun. car show at the Big "O' flea market in Okeechobee Fla. . Last yr . was 2nd over all . This yr. that was corrected w/ a Best of Show & Peoples Choice . Was once again humbled by the unexpected results . Voting was by entrants & spectators . Speaks volumes when you are recognized by your peers .
Maybe a show on the 17th then the big one on Boca on Feb . 25th . The little woman "Char " accepted the awards and is as this is being written shopping for my out fit (clothes ) for the Boca show . Almost can't wait to see what she comes home with . Said "You know you have to dress the parts for this once in a life time experience " I would be happy w/ the red knee length shorts w/ FORD emblems . my old school white shirt w/ large FORD patch on back & the Dennis name tag on pocket and the large brim straw hat .

Many of my car show buddies stated we haven't seen you at any of the car shows lately .Maybe after the daily double Sun.they may reconsider those comments .

Next I will here from the car show crowd "Denny is rising up in the show car scene as he now has some one accepting his awards " Not true I was busy loading up the dog & pony show & next time is my turn .

No chance of any trouble . The blond in red w/ the straw hat is the support unit & has been for the last 25 yrs. The lady in blue I have know for 37 yrs. She is like family . Mary (in blue ) was at our wedding Feb 10 '96 . Char & I went on a music cruise or our 20th & and in Jan 2-7 2018 for our 22nd anniv. It was awesome . 21 artists for 5 days & 4 nights of rock & roll . We seen ,to name a few ,The Zombies w. many original members ( C Blundstone & Rod Argent ), Alan Parsons & ELO in one day . 3rd row seats for Parsons & ELO . Sat 2 seats away from John Lodge (bassist for the Moody Blues) for an hour during Eddie Trunks live radio show . It was the 23 rd time seeing the MB's .
Other artists were Rare Earth , Al Stewart , Randy Hanson , Frank Hannon of Tesla ( whose father -in-law is Dickie Betts ) , Shawn Phillips , Young Dublineers ( warp speed Irish ) Little River Band , Ambrosia , Jefferson Airplane (w/ 2 original members of the Airplane ) Strawbs , Ides of March ( Jim P sat w/ us for breakfast Sun morn and Graeme Edge sat across from us another morning ) Lighthouse , and many others
These music cruises are addictive & we will go again .
Since it is the 50th anniv. of the album "Days of Future Passed " the Moodies played every song on the album .It was epic !!
