Waukesha

Today we had a ride into Waukesha to visit the Saturday farmers market. The town also has a very interesting antique store and if it was in England we would of made a couple of purchases of a table and a clock for the boat.  The towns most famous resident was Les Paul who invented the solid bodied electric guitar, he also developed close miking, delay, echo, reverb and phasing effects that have become the norm today.



Entertaining the farmers market crowds.


The bronze black bear sculptures hark back to the day they roamed Wisconsin
