Popfest...

This past weekend was the 2nd annual Cooney Family Reunion or Popfest as some call it held against the green pine and blooming red bud back drop of Bill and Geneva's home we call the Land.

Here you see folks crowding the buffet table to chow down. Cold weather kept us shut in the garage with the propane heaters. I don't think anyone minded except for a few folks who chose to rush spring by wearing shorts.





Here you see the clan gathering for a group photo that David Jr. set up with a tripod camera. He gets the results I'll publish here but for now you will have to be content with my gonzo journalism coverage of an incomplete line up as every one moved to get in place.




Left to right, White Rabbit, Geneva, Pop. Saturday was Geneva's Birthday, she was very modest not wanting to steal any Cooney fire and thunder on their day, here we wish you a happy birthday and many more.












Of course there was a big jam session. Pictured here are Patrick, Pop, Michael and Cathy. As I was playing myself I did not get many music pictures. Other musicians missing from this picture are John on guitar, Mary on drums, David on washboard, Kelly (Matt's girlfriend new to these kind of proceedings, brought her own instrument, a very good sign) on tambourine and me. Maybe others made a picture with all, please send.

The music went very well, get selection of songs. No sweet harmony singing though. Cooneys all sing lead.
