Escalante..!!!!!!! 28 & 29th September 2012

Escalante, a plein air art contest and both types of music - country and western....

With that on offer in the small town of Ecalante we decided to stay and see what was on offer.

The hit for us was a western singer called Mary Kaye (Knaphus). To my ears she had the voice of a star, and her songs were evocative and emotional, especially those based on true events or personal stories. We happened to sit next to her and her cowboy husband, Brad, at a cafe between her performances.

One fact of interest is that they have 10 children, roughly all 2 years apart. Yes, 10 as in ten.

She did say that in Utah such information does not rise any eyebrows. But when mentioned in California it is often met by mass apoplexy and hysteria.

Brad stated that he had no musical talent whatsoever. I told him he should take up the drums; with stats like that he sure can keep a beat.
