Lake County Live! came to the Soper-Reese Community Theatre in Lakeport for our fifth show on Sunday, May 27.
Performers included Blind Spot, with Tom Nixon, Dave Gilmore, Martin Franusich, Doug Kauffman and Ed Johnson, along with Lindy Day and Kevin Village Stone. Thanks to them for some incredible music.
Thanks also to our Ladies of the Lake, who continue to amuse the audience with their exploits: Kris Andre, Pamela Bradley, Suna Flores and Vicky Parish Smith. Special guests this month were Judy Conard and Sarah Arndt. Thanks to both.
Thanks to Richard Smith and Suna Flores for helping co-write the program and to Mitchell Hauptman for being our unflappable announcer.
Special thanks to Nick Reid, our stage manager and Kris Veenstra, who assists him. Our show sounds so good thanks to the talents of Nick Biondo, sound engineer, and looks good thanks to lighting handled by Mike Adams.
The front of the house is always handled perfectly, so much appreciation to Andrea Adams, Vonn Faqua, Donna Herndon and, of course, Nancy Rhoades.
We couldn't do the show without the support of KPFZ 88.1 FM Lake County Community Radio, Lake County News at www.lakeconews.com and the Soper-Reese Community Theatre. Each donates much to make the show a success.
Finally, thanks to all of you who come to the theater and experience the show live, or listen on the air or on line at www.kpfz.org . Your response to our program has been wonderful.
These people and organizations believe as I do that there's much talent here in Lake County, and have permitted us to continue to bring that talent to you on the last Sunday of each month.
As an aside, a technical error delayed our live broadcast on May 27. Approximately the first 15 minutes of our show did not make it to the air. That problem has been identified and will not occur again. H
I hope you will join us in the theater on June 24 for the return of Pole Cat Rodeo and Lucas Swafford with Rama Deva.
Oh yes, the Ladies of the Lake will be there too, along with Sascha the dog, Mama Maybelle's, and a very good time.

I arose Thursday morning to see an ad by the proponents of Measure D in the newspaper with the same old story, accusing opponents of the measure of lies lies lies!
Once again, as so many times before they never mention what lies they were talking about. It took me back to remembering grade school and how children argue.
The good news is that everywhere we go, the opponents of Measure D have been met with welcome open arms.
We're getting our message out to all the community organizations and nearly to a person, everyone is heavily endorsing our stance.
On a down note it seems that the proponents of Measure D have been busy too.
Five signs that say, “No on Measure D" located on private property along the highway in Kelseyville have been destroyed.
In order to destroy them the vandals have had to crawl over fences and trespass, breaking the law on their way to breaking another law.
This is another example of why you don't want marijuana growers writing their own legislation.
In other areas, more visible, the signs are simply quickly knocked over and neighbors have been putting them back up.
So please get out to vote and vote no on Measure D.

Recent ads from candidate Joan Moss have implied that Supervisor Rob Brown is putting the public at risk by his business as a bail agent. We would like to respond by saying that this claim could not be further from the truth.
We as deputies and correctional officers have worked with Supervisor Rob Brown in his capacity as bail agent as well as county supervisor and can attest to his professionalism and utmost concern for public safety in each of his responsibilities.
As a bail agent, Rob Brown has successfully worked with law enforcement to return hundreds of fugitives to justice. Rob has done this at his own expense and often puts his own safety at risk to accomplish this.
As a county supervisor he has supported our law enforcement agencies. In fact, Rob Brown has donated his own time and financial resources to build a building that is now used to interview children that have been sexually and physically abused.
Hundreds of individuals who have chosen to harm our children have been convicted as a result of this state of the art facility that Supervisor Brown was instrumental in building.
The Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association conducted interviews of both candidates for District 5 supervisor and, without question, the outstanding and most qualified candidate is Supervisor Rob Brown.
Both the Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Lake County Correctional Officers Association are proud to endorse Rob Brown for District 5 supervisor.
Mike Silva is president Lake County Correctional Officers Association and Gary Frace is president Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Association.
