Part of our Labor Day weekend was spent visiting with Maura and John upstate. What a great time we were shown !
Saturday evening, we attended a concert of the 1970's pop rock band Orleans in an abandon blue stone rock quarry outside the Village of Saugerties. This was neat stuff!!!!
Pictures are better than words, so take a look.
A brief explanation;
In 1938, Harvey Fite dropped out of law school to take up acting and sculpturing. He found a 12 acre abandon blue stone quarry and starting building ramps, terrance, monuments, etc. He called his work, Opus 40 as he figured it would take 40 years to complete his work. However, in 1976 after laboring for 37 years, 72 year old Fite died in an accidental fall at the quarry.
Today, Opus 40 and museum is a tourist attraction.... Saturday night, it was a concert venue.
The audience was on their feet!
Thanks, Maura and John !!!!
