and so it began
another summer
had arrived
and
it was kicked off
in a larger than life way
with
martha reeves and the vandellas
giving a free concert
outisde on the street
and
it brought people of all kinds together
to
dance in the streets
and
sing
and
remember
and
celebrate
the season
and later
i had the chance to see
my co-worker from school
in a very different role
acting in a
powerful production
of one of my favorites
‘rent’
held in a beautiful old theater
with voices booming and tears flowing
and i couldn’t have asked for a better way
to be welcomed into summer
but with music and passion.
Sigh ❤

This is my kind of music which does border on “over the top,” Beth!! Fun times in Ann Arbor. Rent is a heartfelt story about love and acceptance, which has so much to offer. Yes, tears flow but this was such a great way to see your co-worker in another way…. Summer’s off with a Bang!!

It sounds like a great kick-off to the summer!
My older daughter’s college application essay (now years ago) was on why “Rent” was so important to her.

I can’t think of a more forward looking, upbeat way to kick off summer. Delicious Beth. I sat down with my coffee and sun pouring in the window of my new apartment this morning, and your post really made me smile. Thank you
