The Rudy Toot Band Says You Can Go Home Again

nederland colorado 2012 reunion

A client emailed yesterday to say she realized I am on a mini vacation but she needed to immediately know an answer. Although her escrow is a short sale -- and we just opened escrow, which means we won't get approval on this particular transaction for 3 months because it's a double Wells Fargo short sale -- she needed to know if she was allowed to take her refrigerator. My husband thought I should call her at 4 AM. But that's why I am a Sacramento real estate agent and he is not. Some of us are born to help others. Like my friend, Lady Jake, in this photo above. She made this guy a quickie belt to keep his pants up. It's made from balloons tied together.

Rudy Toots

Nancy Jean, the fiddleplayer, came from Costa Rica for this event. We've got Boom-Boom Micky D on the left, Rudy himself at the mike, John Davenport from Oregon on the right and Jerry Deall, far right, on harmonica. The Rudy Toots haven't played together for probably 20 years, but they were a popular local band in the 1970s. It was a special deal that they reunited for the Nederland 2012 Reunion. Many eyes throughout the crowd at the Millsite were wet.

See, this is why I like taking photos of houses. They cooperate. They just stand there looking at you, smiling, waiting patiently for you to shoot a picture of them. Unlike these people. Here is Gina Guercio Colbum seated on the left, unknown Caribou Ranch guy who just recorded his second album holding a fork, and I do not know the woman with the courage to wear white shorts. Oh, yes, Lisa Adams from up near Virginia City.

Hard to say how many people showed up for the 2012 Nederland Reunion at the Millsite. I'd guess 200. Up until yesterday, I had always thought I had lived in Nederland from 1974 to 1976, but when I recalled The Nederland Alcoholic Test, which was recorded in the Boulder County Public Records on April 1, 1976 for Friends for a Better Environment, which was namely me, Lady Jake and Larry Lyle, I realized that I moved to Nederland just before Valentine's Day in 1975. I left in the spring of 1977. You can still get a copy of the partnership agreement Friends for a Better Environment, followed by the Nederland Alcoholic Test, from the Public Records. That will explain a great deal about Nederland in 1975.

That's really nice that that old band was able to get together after being apart for so long.  Looks like everyone had a good time.

Did the belt work? I guess enough balloons could lift just about anything.

Hi Bryan: We left just before the thunderstorm hit. But being soaked in the rain is not necessarily a bad place to be in Nederland, Colorado.

Hi Melissa: Yes, it did. The rubber stretched just enough to add a little tightness. Although, Lady Jake put a special knot in it, I bet once released it would be difficult to retie. Hope he didn't have to untie for any reason during the event.

That was a fun blog, Elizabeth.  I liked the part about houses being cooperative.  Hope you had a lot of fun on the vacation.

Sounds like you really enjoyed the reunion.  Revisiting the blast from the past is a great way for the best Short Sale Agent in Sacramento to get rejuvenated.
