Brrrr. Hats off to them, or I guess I should say, "Hats on."
This was their stage, as it were, on the edge of the courtyard of The Grand Hotel. We got Sue and her new coat into the picture. The new coat was just in time for this cold evening.
Time for a closer look at the musicians. Doesn't they guy on the right look cold?
Tighter shots.
The lead needed a wee drop of fortitude in the cold.
Out front were swag bags for the kids. You can see them in the first photo in this post. When this doll walked by, Sue invited her to take one. She put the hat on. If this isn't the cutest thing that you will see today, I envy your life. lol
As is not my general habit, I did take some video and spliced 4 of the clips together together into a 45 second mashup. You can see how dark it was getting by the end, and how both the musicians and their instruments were taking quite a beating in the cold. Good on them for persisting.
Makes my teeth chatter just to think about it. And I am covering Cuppa's coat.
ReplyDeleteThose musicians almost froze to death.
ReplyDeleteThe child was adorable alright!
They do look chilled.
ReplyDeleteI remember a country music act here during Winterlude a couple of years back. Instead of the cowboy hats you expect, they were wearing toques.
Ah, bless them! I hope not all walked right on by.
