The joy of music and dance

The 6th annual Widmer Brother's Oktoberfest

started quietly enough, but ramped up

pretty darn quickly once Sassparilla Jug Band began

playing their toe-tapping and knee slapping music....

The loading dock/music stage was quiet at first

with only a lone kitchen worker taking a break

Kevin on guitar and Jesi on drums

Gus on harmonica

Naima on washboard and also accordian

Sweet Pea on washtub bass

Another shot of Kevin

and Jesi

Once the music began-the dancers

began to weave their own music using their bodies

Everyone has their own style...

But, Xander had an inexaustable amount

of energy and form

Another equally talented and energy filled dancer joined in

Between the two of them- they entertained all of us...

Such delight in dancing

and last but not least- Hillstomp played after Sassparilla

and they were great! Two men that sounded like there

were a lot more musicians than just the two of them.
