Week 8 Pictures (29 Oct. 2016) »

Well, here we are at the last two-day weekend for this year, folks.  Let's start with a video I recorded of The Aalbachtal Express entering our “tent" followed by their introduction by name (01:28).


And lastly here’s the Aalbachtal Express playing a song directly from the Munich Oktoberfest with help from some of our Gaudis (01:29).


And now here we go with the pictures.  Select any one you’d like to start with and then toggle through the rest with the arrows at the lower left or select Slideshow at the lower right and watch them on autopilot.  Please enjoy.
