KELLEYS ISLAND - DAY 2


Hi

Went to the North Shore Beach at Kelleys Island. This was the greatest number of boats and people at the beach in all the times we have visited Kelleys.

At dinner listened to a good band featuring Kristen Jackson, who kind of reminded me of Janis Joplin, same sound. We talked to Kristen during the break, she is from Elyria, has been doing music professionally for 7 years, ie that is she makes enough money at it to eat and sleep. She started out as a classical trumpet player thinking about going to play in a major orchestra, but discovered the Blues when she was a sophomore in college. Could not find someone to sing her original compositions, so she started singing them herself.

Kristen is involved in a group called KickingTheCancerBlues.org

Bye for now

Joe
