First Outdoor Concert Nearby


Lovely night out tonight - and a free outdoor concert with a great band! I was happy to sit and listen to the music from my folding chair nestled under a large tree - breeze blowing.
Naturally I had just settled when a 6'4" man, wife and children settled in front of me - replacing the first group with two boys...one of whom is NOT going to be a music lover I fear. I did manage to grab a photo of him with his response when the band started (and, it was not loud -- those of us that lived the 60's know what LOUD is)! His parents had to hustle away... to some safe location.
This will be the summer I think for most here in AmEreeKa because traveling to former preferred locations ain't an option any more. It could still have been if those same folks did not own Hummers or Cheby SubURbeens and the like. And if those same folks were not expectating on the crude prices this next winter!! Eeech. At least my somber childhood prepared me for now - that's the good part in my case.
