Well then Nice Personality Girl, to answer your question, I didn&#8217;t record anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes.  I did, however, have a series of excellent adventures.<\/p>\n<p><b>Zach&#8217;s Excellent Adventures in Milwaukee<\/b><\/p>\n<p>First I met my host, an amazingly friendly fellow named Ian Abston.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox[album]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Ian\" title=\"The Ian\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2833-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then I met some of his peeps.  Then he and said peeps and I went to Riverside Sounds.   Or, Sounds by the River.  Or, River Rhythms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t remember the name, do you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No.  But it had &#8216;River&#8217; in it.  Anyway, it&#8217;s a free concert series every Wednesday night by the river (of course), with a broad mix of different styles and sounds from week to week.  The band was a group called <i>Ambrosia<\/i>, which played something in between progressive rock and smooth jazz.  An interesting mix, with some very interesting chords\/meter stuff going on, but probably not something I&#8217;d spin more than twice.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox[album]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Riverside River Sounds of the River... or some such\" title=\"Riverside River Sounds of the River... or some such\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_2827-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, after a stop at Apollo&#8217;s (man, I am going crazy for gyros lately), it was back to the house.
