Flood waters recede, pinning a sculpture and Music Coming Back tour


This is as far as the flooding got, just a little bit on the bridge.

The stacked sculpture been taken apart, so that she can be drilled and pinned for stability. I am using a fine riffler to clean out the area around her fingers and neck.

Marks are placed on either side of the two stones to determine where it will be drilled and pinned.

Each end of the sculpture is raised and a piece of fire hose inserted. This is so we can get a good grip on the sculpture section and lift it safely. You have to be careful handling stone as the edges chip easily.

A line is drawn from marks on either side of the sculpture. At the mid-way point, another line is made. The x is where the hole will be drilled for the pin.

Don drills the hole for the pin. It is important that the hole is drilled at a right angle to each section of the sculpture, otherwise the pin will "hang up" and pieces will not fit together.

Don and I were invited to a music fundraiser for MCB records. It was hosted by the Pollards at their home beside the Ohio River.
The tour is entitled Music Coming Back and featured Kri & Hettie, Corey Brumback and Lotus Blake, among others. I took this photo from the steps coming down from the deck where the bands played.

There was plenty of great food...

...and lots of great music... this is Lotus Blake.

This is Corey Brumback. Great food and great music beside the Ohio River, who could ask for more?

I'm leaving you with this peek-a-boo deer that I saw the other day...
