We sang at the Oktoberfest celebration at the Essen Haus on Saturday September 13th. We sang two sets, though the second one was a little short because it was time for Dorf Kapelle to start their set.
Here are some pictures – as always, click on the small image to see the larger version of the photo.

We had a pretty good turnout. It was a little cool, but warm in the sun.

After our first set, I got a bratwurst, potato salad and sauerkraut. It was very good

I fished this poor little guy out of my beer. Amazingly, after a few minutes of stumbling around, he was able to fly away. Probably going to have a big hangover tomorrow, but at least he'll have quite a story to tell his buddies.

I think this is the third year that Dorf Kapelle has played at the Essen Haus Oktoberfest. They are really good.

It was a good day to sit in the sun, have a beer or two, and listen to the music.
