It started out because my favorite singer of all time, EG Kight, was playing at a blues festival in Williamsport, PA.
I figured it would be a perfect way to start out a trip to see the family as well.
I have seen EG twice before but never with her band. I was so pumped it's amazing that I didn't burst a seam or blow a gasket.
We stayed at the Genetti Hotel in downtown Williamsport and felt queen-ish and king-ish.
No one's ever left a note on my bed before. Cool, eh? |
The Genetti is very old and has a fascinating history. |
Loved the shower. |
"Rubber ducky, you're the one" |
The lobby |

Downtown Williamsport is very cool. These murals were across the street from our hotel. |
We arrived late afternoon on Saturday; the blues festival was the next day so we set out to find some food. |
We lucked out. Outside seating, beautiful weather and music. |
The old rail station. |
Ringo was next door to the hotel with his all-star band Sunday night. I understand the show sold out quickly. |
Other than city hall, I have no idea what the other three pictures are of. I just liked their looks. |
This marks the beginning of Williamsport's "Millionaires Row." Beautiful big ole houses. |
This is the second floor mail shoot. We were told there is only one other still around. I'll show it to you in a later blog; bumped into it by happenstance. |
This is not the first time I've taken a picture of flooring for my blog. Probably won't be the last either. |
Our breakfast hang-out. |
The "ladies" was recently redone. Fancy. |
More flooring. I can't help myself. |
A little resting place to take a load off if one so desires. OMG, I'm talking like some kind of society dame. Well, except for the "take a load off." That sounds like a trucker dame. |
I also have a thing for doors. |
The main floor mail shoot. No longer in use but so very, very cool. |
I have to look at the poster to remind myself who else was there. Honestly, I paid no attention. My main focus was EG. |
So glad we thought to bring our chairs. I managed to catch a bit of a nap in mine between EG's band performance on the main stage and her solo session in the acoustic tent later on. |
There she is! Her band was killer. I had to fight my way to the front of the mosh pit but I used my elbows and may have stepped on a few toes. Oh well. |
EG tries to have some local kids up when possible for a few songs and these boys were great. |
Each time I've seen EG perform I've been fortunate enough to spend a bit of time talking with her. This day we got some quality "chat time" in. |
I hope you used your Jazz elbows to get up front. You lucky Gal!
