Sterling North Show 2009

Here's Grandpa Hodges doing two songs. He was so great! The audience really enjoyed him.
FIVE of his grandsons (David, Clayton, Joseph, Jayson, and Joel) were also in the show.


MANIFOLD! Yes, this is the boy's band. It's Clayton (far left), nephew Jayson, friend Nathan singng, Joseph on drums, nephew Joel and friend Michael on the bass.
They performed a song called New Beginning composed by son David, arrangement by the band with lyrics by Nathan. It was very much a group effort. This was their first public performance outside of the teen center.


And finally, here we have son David. He's performing three of his original compositions. The first is Snow Drift Riff-which is a new favorite of mine.

It was a lot of fun that day. There is a lot of talent in the Edgerton area; singing, dancing, flags, poetic readings-it had great variety. It was just the sort of thing that makes living in a small town a charming experience.
