Ricky, Ricky didn't show, but Buzzard Fest still fun
The 20th annual Buzzard Fest was filled with a variety of good music, some good food, and entertainment by the ladies from the Crack O'Dawn Dancers. Ralph Bourne, host and and talented founder of the Buzzard Fest at the Barn Theater welcomed the large crowd for the evening, and sang his original songs welcoming the buzzards to roost in their eucalyptus tree habitat that surrounds the theater. Bourne sang the song of the "Lost Fisherman", "Ricky Ricky Come Home" asking a young buzzard to come home and roost, and eat his "fill," and his classic, "I Ain't Dead Yet."
