Yesterday we took our friends John and Melanie to Lawrence to visit Stickwork Art on Jayhawk Boulevard. It is an amazing structure made from .... sticks.
After dinner at Zen Zero we attended the Cheryl Wheeler concert. The venue was surprisingly intimate, a tiny Unity Church where we sat on the front row ... maybe 10 feet from the performers. Kenny White was the opening act. He was a pleasant and unexpected bonus as he was both extremely talented and very funny.
Cheryl Wheeler was amazing. Maybe not a Miss America candidate, but a true talent. Her pure folk/ballad style was more captivating live than on her CDs. Maybe that's because she was only 10 feet away!
She is also a great storyteller. She told about, and sang, HRC's favorite song, the Gandhi Buddha song, which you can enjoy here.
Happy thoughts to dear friends, interesting art, quality food and good music.

This is soooo cool! I love this type of art!
Perhaps when you come to SF you may want to see his work in SF...it is not nearly at the same level as what you have in your photos, however.
Also, I loved the music, too. And, she was very.
Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.
Wow! What a wonderful day, and amazing to be in such a small venue. And great pictures, thank you!
ps. love the YouTube video you link to, too! not at all what I would have expected from her. (until your post, in my mind she was very young, very beautiful, and not at all funny...), instead she's great for all different reasons, i love it!
That must be the largest pile of sticks in the world! Yet another item to add to Kansas's travel brochure.
