Good Morning Everyone!

What??? 28 days? Did somebody mess with the calendar?
Well, don’t worry—we have everything completely under control. The plan is solid, and every single detail will be waiting for you in your tour guide on the table at the Courthouse Pub. We are doing everything short of packing your suitcase!
​(Though, we do charge extra for that!)​

Between now and then, I’ll be double-checking all of our touchpoints along the route to ensure everything is perfectly dialed in for our arrival. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy your summer.
Best,
Harv

Oh, by the way, do you remember Carl Perkins?  He was the guy who recorded and released "Blue Suede Shoes " before Elvis!  It was released in early 1956, and it was a massive smash, topping the country, R&B, and pop charts simultaneously.

When Elvis recorded it later that same year, he used the exact same arrangement Perkins created and made it a global phenomenon. But make no mistake—Carl Perkins was a spectacular, blazing performer in his own right. Make sure you check him out in
​"CLASSIC MOMENTS" below!

CLASSIC MOMENTS
​Watch an absolute powerhouse moment in music history: Carl Perkins, George Harrison, & Eric Clapton performing a high-energy Medley live on September 9, 1985. Recorded at the legendary Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ, this official archival footage captures three of the most influential guitarists of all time sharing one stage to honor the roots of rock and roll.

This medley serves as a masterclass in guitar style, blending Perkins' rockabilly "chicken-pickin'," Harrison’s melodic precision, and Clapton’s blues-rock fire. As a rare warm-up to their famous London "Rockabilly Session" held later that year, this New Jersey performance is a must-watch for any fan of the Beatles, Cream, or the Sun Records era.

🎸 The Legends 🎤
​🎸 Carl Perkins – Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar 🎤🎸 George Harrison – Vocals, Guitar 🎤🎸 Eric Clapton – Vocals, Guitar 🎸 Greg Perkins – Bass 🥁 Tony Austin – Drums 🥁 Ringo Starr – Drums

Did you enjoy this presentation?  If you did, let me know; I'll try to find more in the future... 
At least send something so I know you are still out there.  A short pulse or heartbeat scan would do???

Hey Everyone!
Are you watching the countdown?
Only 36 days to go!
While it might be a bit too early to start packing, that departure day is creeping up fast.

We have the entire agenda completely covered in our brand-new souvenir tour book. Directions, tours, dinner times, and local spots—everything you need to know is packed right inside. Every single person attending will receive a copy at the rally. For our Coachmen buddies in Florida, Texas, San Francisco, Madison, and Seattle who can't make it this time, we haven't forgotten you! We are mailing yours so you can follow along with our daily adventures in real time. If you are one of these long-distance members, keep an eye on your mailbox—a special FedEx envelope will be heading your way.  You should see it by July 27. 

Get ready for an amazing trip.
Oh, and don't miss the Mosquito report in Harv's Corner today!

Hi Everyone! Not much to report today. Jan and I just got back from a fantastic weekend in Chicago celebrating her grandnephew’s graduation from the DePaul University School of Music. He’s a percussionist, so you know he made some noise! ​

We had a great time while we were there playing tourist. We took a narrated riverboat cruise through downtown and visited the Driehaus Museum (a spectacular monument to the Gilded Age—really cool!). 

Finally, we zipped up the Sears Tower. (Now called the Willis Tower??? Can you believe that?) When they told me what it cost just to take the elevator to the top, I asked if I could save a few bucks by taking the stairs.

They told me NO—with 2,149 steps, I’d have to buy a lunch and dinner, and that didn't include the out-of-network costs for emergency rescue and hospitalization! 


Sooo, I decided to just take the elevator.

We rolled in back home around 6:00 PM and went out to dinner. It’s now 9:30 PM, and as you can probably tell, I’m fading fast (a couple of beers helped, to be honest). 


OH! THE TRAVEL PAMPHLET IS COMPLETE! 
And it's a beaut, if I must say so myself. (Of course, I have to say that myself because nobody else has seen it!)  

​
Enjoy the music this week, because that's all you're getting! 
Cheers, 
Harv

Howdy Folks!
​ Let’s take a look at the fantastic restaurant & gathering places we’ll be enjoying during our time in
​Door County.

July 28 - Stone Harbor Resort 
https://stoneharbor-resort.com/
The Tiki Bar! 
Located on the bay side of the Stone Harbor property. After each day is over, this might be a good place to have a nightcap. Stone Harbor also has a gorgeous bar inside the resort. -  ("plan B" in case of rain.)


July 29 - Donny's Glidden Lodge -
https://donnysgliddenlodge.com/full-menu/
​They do not advertise a traditional discounted "Happy Hour" for drinks, but they do have a fantastic Early Bird Special every night they are open from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. It’s a classic Door County setup—doors open at 4:00 PM, the bar starts mixing up excellent Wisconsin cocktails, and the Early Bird special gets you a slightly smaller portion of their nightly feature alongside a trip to their famous soup and salad bar.

July 30 - The Mill Supper Club.
https://www.themillsupperclub.com/menu/
Click on this link to learn everything you need to know about The Mill Supper Club. Do they have a "Happy HOUR"? YOU BET THEY DO! Want to become a member of their "MUG CLUB"? Why not... You live close enough. I did the math, and it does not spell "Mother" for me.  

Click on the links to check out the menus and prices for each location.
