General Grenville M. Dodge was instrumental in the growth not only of our community, but our nation. Dodge made his youthful dream of building a railroad across the country a reality, and in its wake he laid out plans for towns that brought people and other railroads to network the nation, making them all neighbors.
The raw courage of a boy born into a family so poor they couldn’t make ends meet, Dodge’s genius and tenacity took him from poverty in Danvers, Massachusetts, to become a wealthy man in Council Bluffs.
He was a man who was a friend to presidents, statesmen, financial tycoons and leaders of states and of our nation. A maverick who was also a manipulator, Dodge started laying track for the Eastern Railroad at age 14. he was educated in academies and graduated at age nineteen from Norwich University in Vermont.
That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo. Taking eclectic musical ideas and creating an indie friendly swirl that blends rock energy filtered through cheery fluff and psych-folk. Flirting with honey pop and guitar-driven majesty, the band is able to maintain an energy level while delivering fresh hooks. A stand out are the striking harmonies, mixing vocal catharsis and delicate chiming beauty, like riding a carousel face towards the wind. An exuberant performance delivered as a shimmering package of joy.
I did not know Rancho Relaxo existed. I thought that it was only from the Simpsons. Anyways, we just released our 2nd album after a 4 year break and we would love to get some feedback if you have the time. Thanks.
That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo, a kaleidoscopic pop/folk sound, diverse instrumentation, roaring voices raised in song. The tight, relentless energy just displays the bands unyielding attitude of rocking out.
