The Dangberg Ranch for music and more...
We headed into history for the Jubilee Concert at one of Nevada's first and finest ranches. Heinrich Dangberg, a young German immigrant who came to this valley in 1856, created a ranching empire that came to include 48,000 acres.
What's really cool is that four generations of Dangbergs called this place home, well into the 1990s, and they kept everything. We came not just for music but for the Annual Clothing Exhibit, which featured an extensive collection of historic clothing, all displayed inside the family residence.
The music of C.W. and Mr. Spoons, notorious for keeping toes tapping with their old-style ragtime, did not fail to entertain. They were my favorite and they describe their style as "Old songs and several new come alive and fly through the air in this mirthful explosion of syncopated crash and rattle." What a great day on the ranch!
