music is a moral law.

50+ years as a band

los lobos

came to town

blocked off the street

set up

for a free concert

on a sunny afternoon

first time for my grandson

everyone

loving

their unique brand

of rock, blues, country, and rhythm and blues

from the first chord

 there was dancing in the street.

—

“music is a moral law.

it gives soul to the universe,

wings to the mind,

flight to the imagination,

and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”

-plato

  5. Love this; and that Plato quote: bang on!
    Experienced same yesterday. At 10pm open air film showing at our lake. Before, 2 bands 1hr each, great sounds, ppl chatting, dancing, laughing, having a drink and a bite or three…. boats on the lake, thankfully a breeze, grass and trees whispering, storm-broken stuff already ‘occupied’ by little creatures, ducklings rushing after their mother…. sounds ringing across spaces. A night of delight, and Plato was right!

  10. Always something for everybody.
    A musical group may perform mainly one type of music, but you can be pretty sure they are talented and can play in many different styles.
    Dress up a country band in tuxedos and put them on a fancy concert stage and you might hear them playing Mozart. ;)
