So hop on the bus and let’s get rolling.
Here is a boy scout and his sister guiding in the crowds.
Lakeway Justice center is the location.
We are on time. Looks like a Baritone player is a little late.
Looking at the heron sculpture in the distance gave rise to an interesting view of instrument cases.
Don’t worry about donating. You’re covered.
The director is beginning the concert.
We need to find a seat.
Not here.
Maybe we can sit with the Elk.
Here we go. A nice comfortable spot with the chessplayers
I hope you had a good time. Sit back and enjoy the concert and food. Chicago wants to play one song for sure. I hope you have a great week.

The Producer is 100% responsible. We decided to move after Hurricane Harvey and I stayed home with the pups and she went house hunting. She called and said I think I’ve found the perfect place. My response was only, “Buy it.” I first saw our new house when we moved in. I figured if it was good enough for her it was more than good enough for me. She did a great job.

What a wonderful reason to go to the park. We have had concerts like this on the grounds of an old school (now apartments for elderly) and they’ve proven to be so popular the town is building a venue for them behind Town Hall.
I’ll have a slice, or two of pepperoni. Thanks John.

Lots of places away from people, so no probs.
I brought a sketch pad and pencils, so I can draw to the music!
