Not that he isn&#8217;t good at the country standards that he covers but he has at least ten originals, all of which are about farming (or not-many are quite philosophical).   Yes, he has one about a century old house that he claims is not about farming, but we all know where that house is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by a gig with his grandfather at Albert City decades ago, he took the stage at the Threshermen And Collectors Show there for the (third?) time this summer (2021) and brought an entourage of family and friends, including the duo of Tim And Cinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are two numbers from that show.  We like the ambient outdoor sounds of the Threshermen event and yours truly thought the barn swallows that you hear in the background added some Threshermen-y-ness to the occasion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/saintstevensthingery.com\/mybackpages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021-08-15-graincart.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption>Grain Cart Operator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/saintstevensthingery.com\/mybackpages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rippin_8-15-21-AC.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption>Rippin&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five days later, it was on to Linn Grove, to Innspiration Vines And Wines, where he did a similar set indoors to an appreciative room.  That was just hours ago and we have the entire night to process yet, but here&#8217;s one from indoors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/saintstevensthingery.com\/mybackpages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iowa_sky8-20-21.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption>Iowa Sky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim And Cinda are slated for Innspiration Vines And Wines August 29, and a little bird tells us that Tony will probably re-appear with them at that time.
