August 5, 2007: Swiss Picnic at Stysh’s Brown Barn Campground---Boonville, NY:

It was great to return to this event, as FPB Fan Club Member, Marian Carpenter and her family have hosted this event for over 20 years! My Aunt Alice Scherz, Aunt Alice Hutton, and Aunt Marie Glur attended the gig today, along with many other FPB Fan Club Members. FPB Fan Club Members, Betty Miller and Bob Zeller performed with FPB, and our friend from Ohio, Frank Svet jammed with us, too. Lastly, our friend, Elvera Lemon, sang and did yodels in the beginning of the third set. We all had fun, and of course, we tipped some Jagermeister punch. Here’s the list of tunes we did today:
