Lee Oskar at Bumbershoot
For the second day in a row we took Sennet down to the Seattle Center for the Bumbershoot music festival. We took him to see Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, where he danced his ass off and had people coming out of the crowd to dance with him. We then took him to see local Seattle funk band Eldridge Gravy & the Court Supreme. Again, he was totally into it, this time grooving on daddy’s shoulders so he could see the band above the crowd.

Later on we took him over to another stage to see the harmonica wizardry of Lee Oskar & Magic Dick. We parked ourselves off to one side, on the grass in the shade. Sennet was up and dancing to the music in no time. Eventually a lady came over and introduced herself as Lee Oskar’s girlfriend, Sri. She said she loved watching Sennet dance and wanted to give him a free CD from Lee. She went backstage and returned with a CD and a bumbersticker. We mentioned that we had thought about getting Sennet a harmonica, and she lit up and said she would send one of Lee’s signature harmonicas to him!! She took our names and address down, and hopefully Sennet will get yet another musical instrument to practice on here soon!
Here’s some video of him dancing to Lee Oskar & Magic Dick:
