OMG. Look at that fieldstone fireplace! Gorgeous! I can just imagine it in the winter with a fire roaring away…

[@nmd14723]

Wow what a logistical task setting up the stage every gig 😳

[@tobisimmons9889]

OK I think this is my favorite venues thus far on your little backstage tours with us. Stunning breathtaking picturesque A+ on this one. Nobody else takes us on backstage tours like you do Lee. Say hi to Carole for us all.

[@kevinbrennen6773]

Not often you see/hear a “real” piano on tour anymore. Not sure if that goes everywhere but wow, that must be a chore to keep that baby in tune traveling and being in different weather conditions!

[@billmiller5741]

The blue sky looks amazing with the pine trees surrounding the venue. I can only imagine the starlight night with fireflies and listening to musicians. Thanks for the share

[@downer9099]

No fireflies there

[@johncopeland3826]

To think some lucky so and so or conglomerate owns that incredible building,plus the surrounding land and fixings! Wowee!!!

[@rikconverse8726]

Reminds me of my film production days - the crew repartee and camaraderie. The taking over of locations for a single day and completely constructing a performance set and then tearing it down and moving on the the next days gig. Different day and some of the same stuff...but Always interesting variations and discoveries! I miss that! Glad it's back for you and all the players & crew!

[@FreedomRock44]

Wow Lee what a nice VENUE!!!!

[@michaelvaladez6570]

Saw your posting with Carole King. Is she visiting Sun Valley? That’s such a beautiful part of the country you’re in right now….You’re hitting some beautiful venues on this tour…..but I guess you have to pay for it with gigs in garden spots like Walla Walla….LOVE the onions…..not much else. 😁

Thanks for the walk around. Not many get to see how much it takes to get a show set-up. The bag of chips, they put a lot of air into that bag. Have a great show tonight.

[@JaegerDives]

I got the biggest grin on my face from this. Beautiful venue for sure. I'm a longtime fan of Lee and Jim Cox. Great to see them together here. My days on the road as a musician were nothing like this, playing in smoky venues and sleeping in the van sometimes. It's nice to see the other side. Thanks!

Thank you for these backstage tours, Lee. It's really interesting to see that side of the whole thing. I notice that many of the guys working the stage and instruments appear to be of a fairly mature age. I appreciate that.

There's a fascinating history in Ketchum. It was Ernest Hemmingway's stomping ground. Bruce Willis has a club there called The Mint (At least I hope he still does). You're among the royalty who've left giant foot prints there!

[@downer9099]

I'm pretty sure Bruce sold the mint. I could be wrong tho

[@michaeldoster859]

@@downer9099 I think I read something about The Mint being still there, but under new management. Alzheimer's is a brutal disease. Prayers for Bruce.

I do stagehand work as well as being a musician and this has to be the first time I’ve seen someone use a real acoustic piano in an outdoor venue. I have had to setup a full B3/Leslie setup before outdoors.

[@ChefJamesRusk]

Hi Leland, what a lovely venue…intimate…hope you had a chance to go up on the ski lift…bet it’s cool up there….I often wonder if they put you and the crew up in the resort? Also ,if the altitude has an affect…. I grew up in the mountains in South India….7500 ft….took awhile to get used to that,coming back to school. And the adventure tour continues….Yall stay safe ,thanks again for showing us these incredible locations…. 🌹🪷🌹🪷🌹🪷🕊🖕🏻🥰🪬

Beautiful venue! Thanks for the tour! Listening to the piano tuning in the background was a reminder of the work that goes into a tour. I hope that is a local piano. It's hard enough on a piano getting moved, but taking it to an altitude of 6,000' with dry air . . .

Beyond the marvelous tour, I am surprised...and absolutely overjoyed... at the fact that in a lodge in a wildlife-abundant State, we see not even a single mounted head of an animal that was killed for "Sport". I've played many a venue in a resort town where the moronic carnage was proudly represented. Sorry to be dark on an otherwise beautiful vid, but the lodge management deserves kudos.
