Brevard, Atlanta, and Sally's wedding

A complex blog, with a visit to NC, the Blue Ridge, and Atlanta for Sally's wedding.
Susan and I flew to Atlanta, rented a car, met sister Barbara and husband Bill, and drove to Brevard, NC, and stayed at my twin Don's magnificent house in the DuPont Forest.  After three days, we left for Atlanta, and enjoyed all the wonderful events of Sally (cousin, honorary Wauchope) marrying Neal and the reception where Don and I played a duet I wrote for the newlyweds, and the remainder of the day was music provided mostly by Neal and Matt, Don's talented blues keyboard sons. 
The next day was more of the same at two venues, one to hear Matt at his gig, and Neal at the Georgia Shrimp Co.
Here is the record.  (the photos are in reverse order, with Atlanta and then NC

A magnificent organ case, with an unheard organ, electrical failure.
That is a Tiffany window.



Here is Neal and the organist doing the Widor "Toccata"

Now to NC, Don's house in DuPont Forest,
These are Indian Pipe

A magnificent spotted Beetle

We took a walk to Hooker Falls and this Carolina Wren serenaded us.

This Parula  entertained us sitting on Don's deck.
That evening, Tim and Sylvia Bryson came over and we
played trios accompanying her enchanting voice.

This was the view leaving Boston, flying over Castle Island

I wish the airlines would keep you posted about what you are flying over.

One day, again.....

And, we chose to go back to Atlanta by way of White Water Falls,
the tallest falls east of the Rockies.
