Wow, it's been over four months since I last updated this blog. I've actually written more on Pond Ponderings, and of course the CROP Hunger Walk needed (and needs) updating. I think Facebook is the biggest culprit - it so much easier to write one sentence and upload a few pictures. So I'm back with loads of flowers, fish, trips to visit Sam & Jenn, special occasions, and Bob updates to catch up with. This is the day after a wonderful, fun, sunny Memorial Day Weekend. I had to work Saturday, but Friday, Sunday, and Monday were great. Sam & Jenn came down Sunday evening and yesterday was the annual UCLA Reggae Festival. I stayed up late last night putting videos on YouTube and here is my favorite:
(You will eventually see all my videos from yesterday's festival on YouTube - just search for UCLA Reggae Festival 2010 venturahundleys.)

Ben Harper & Damian Marley at the Santa Barbara Bowl
Damian Marley @ SB
Tom and I went to the Ben Harper/Damian Marley concert at the SB Bowl on the 16th and were treated to a fabulous night of music. Damian opened the show at 6:30 and put on a great performance - no wonder Sam is a fan! Wish I'd brought my camera - thanks to the people who posted these videos on You Tube.
Ben & Damian @ SB Bowl
Towards the end of the first hour, Damian and his band joined Ben and the Innocent Criminals in this song. It was cool that Tom and I had gotten to see Bob Marley perform this same piece, in the same place, back in 1979! (It was weird to be the oldest people in the audience, though - no matter where I looked, there didn't seem to be anyone older than us!)
Ben Harper The Greek 8-11
This was shot at the Greek Theater in LA - yes, that's a Dodger shirt this guy from Claremont is wearing! This video was filmed during one of the concerts that took place the weekend before the two Santa Barbara Bowl shows; what a talented and versatile musician! Having only heard his ballads, I had no idea how close to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn Ben Harper is! (If you go to: http://www.benharper.net and click on the on the road link, you can look up August 16, 2006, and see the set list for the night.)
