I have to tell the story about this event. Years ago, probably 1994 or so, Casey and I attended a small music event at the grange in Kennewick, WA. There was a folk guitarist there, Jeff Knoch, who we had never heard of before. It was one of those times where we were in the right place at the right time, the stars aligned, and we had one of our top music experiences ever. We bought his CD, "Fast Delivery," and played it for many years. We felt connected to his songs about raising kids, moving, struggling to make ends meet, etc. Our kids remember the music too as it became part of their childhood experience.
I found that old CD a couple months ago and played it for the first time in a long time. Casey and I spent another evening enjoying Jeff's songs and reminiscing about our lives back in the 90's. Much has changed since then. For one, we have this pub now and have an awesome music venue, so..... we got the idea to find Jeff and ask him to play at the pub. Turns out he lives in the Pacific Northwest, always wanted to come to Winthrop, and so will be here this Saturday to play for us again after all these years. Our daughter, Shannon, is making a special trip from Shoreline to hear the songs from her childhood. Pretty cool, huh??!!
