Summer Music

Nothing seems to go together better than hot summer nights and live music. In fact, some of my best memories are of those long hot evenings and enjoying concerts with my friends. One of my favorite songs that seems to sum this up is Tim McGraw song about "bbq stain" I love living in a place where I can walk to live music. Every Wednesday night in the park down the street from my house they have local bands playing. These free events attract a wide variety of people from through out the city. Some are my neighbors while others are random people passing through on a bike ride or run or walk. There are elderly people, younger adults like myself, and of course parents with their kids. I don't know if its true or not but people truly seem to be happier during these nights of heat and music. I love to walk down with my girlfriend with some snacks and a bottle of wine to enjoy the festival atmosphere. Maybe I enjoy these times so much because eight months out of the year it is cloudy and rainy and cold. What ever the reason I can't deny my love for this time of year and the music that I am lucky enough to be a part of. If you have not been to an local outdoor concert in some time I would suggest you make it a priority in the next couple weeks. Summers go fast, so get out there and start enjoying the music.
