One of the many things we love š about Blue Heron being one of the sponsors of the Harbor for the Arts š» music in the Park series is that it just seems a bit more fun to come and enjoy the various bands if you are helping to sponsor them. Last Saturday evening the weather was cool but the music šø was definitely š„ hot ! The Bobby āBlackHatā Walters band performed, playing with feeling and wildly popular with the crowd ! A breakout moment came when Bobby š© announced āOK, weāre going to play āGet Your Red Shoes On.ā And I want to see some dancing going on out there in the audience ! ā Well, 1, 2, 3 – out poured the music and up jumped the crowd, definitely folks had their red š shoes on. And just about everyone caught the spirit, young, old and in between, on their feet, dancing ! ( Possibly a first for a Central Park band concert ? ) Bobby also played a touching harmonica rendition of Leonard Cohenās famous composition, āHallelujahā, to much applause, a song made indelible to many when it was performed on Saturday Nite Live a few years ago.
Also super popular Saturday night was Cape Charles Main Streetās table, brimming , as promised, with colorful Summer of LOVE ā„ļø T shirts for sale. Business was brisk, T shirts in every hue, plus hats, totes, doggy neckerchiefs, you name it, everything ā„ļø flying off the table and into bags at a dizzying pace. We managed to snag the very last Menās Large in burnt sienna for our son-in-law, who has an amazing collection of local event T shirts that he loves wearing all summer. Shirt Mission Accomplished !
Everything was downhill easy from there for the rest of the night. The sun set, the music played, people swayed, dogs frisked, kids skateboarded, teens played soccer, Gordoās spicy tacos were relished, literature given out, refreshing Italian Ices savored, toddlers twirled, adults laughed, everything went per normal and all was right with the world….. and we had our Menās Large Burnt Sienna Summer of LOVE ā„ļø T shirt !
