Views of the Neighborhood – Music at the Library

~ John W. Howell

Views of the neighborhood

As if the place wasn’t cool enough, every Friday the Lake Travis Community Library hosts a musical performance. This week is was The Southside Sheiks Band  

These guys bill themselves as “Raisin’ a ruckus wherever they go, the Southside Sheiks will play old-timey jug band, ragtime, and holler blues.” Other weeks have included a Jazz singer, Pianist, and singer/songwriter. So, come on along. Don’t worry about keeping your voice down, there is enough music going on to cover you. This is a fast view today.

As you can see the reading section has been taken over by the music section.

Another view of the band and the folks having a good time.

It seems like a contradiction, the music and the stacks of books. I noticed there were some people reading along as if the room was totally quiet.

As the clouds roll in we take a pause and view the pond outside the library.

I’ve shown this little boy before. He and his trusty canine are spending some quality time by the pond reading a book.

I hope you enjoyed the quick view today. If you want to check out the complete calendar or just curious about all the library offers, here is a link to the library webpage

  10. We don’t have music at our library here, but there’s the concert on the Marktplatz six times a year in summer, and – what Mary and I really like to go and listen to – the Music Club concerts just around the corner in the Methodist Church every 3rd Sunday, for 8 times a year.
    Have a great Sunday,

  11. A truly wonder-filled post, John. The library is in a beautiful setting! I love that they are hosting music. I got a kick out of the term “holler blues”. I like swamp blues, so why not holler blues. 😀 Have a sublime Sunday. Hugs.

      1. They call it cul-de-sac blues, but highway’s just as bad,

        Side-street’s even worse,
        And freeway’s also sad….

      1. It does. And I haven’t even seen it live but it comes through on your picture. Makes me want to find myself in the very same position. (Not that Zeke would let me..)

    1. Yup. Will be Singer-songwriter Jennifer Fuentes who will entertain with her soulful, vibrant voice and captivating stage presence by blending pop, Latin, blues, jazz, country, rock, and Motown. Man, she works it.

  18. John, you had me at “music.” No, maybe it was “library.” Whatever, the combination of the two is wonderful, and I’m glad to see it was a well-attended performance. Probably better than some book-signings, huh??

  19. I always love the glimpses of the neighborhood. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life. BTW, I especially love the final sculpture – the little boy reading to his dog. I wonder… do you sometimes read out loud to your pups? 😀
