Our first party without Andy, heartbreaking and emotional, but ended up one of the best and biggest ever,    We raised over $2000 to donate to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Andy's name.

The boils were the best ever (over 20 pours easy), about 300 adults peak, and tons of kids of all ages as usual.   Lot and lots of folks to thank,  Thanks to everyone who contributed to Andy Baecker Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fund as well.

Food fantastic,  music great,  friend and friends of friends all fantastic.  Blessed with great weather (perfect) .  We pulled out all the stops for this one, lots more production work, and a huge number of folks contributing all the work.

"I've got this old friend in Detroit, plays bass with a band, was thinking of getting him and my brother in law here this summer, we should have a party we can jam in the back yard, can you bring your keyboard."
