Peter (our son) and Brian, with Mark on drums behind Peter and Mike on bass behind BrianAt sunset last night we rocked in a park in Plymouth to our son's band performance at the fall festival. This is our favorite gig for them, because a couple thousand people come, and they're really into it, unlike some of the clubs/bars where people are busy drinking, talking and flirting with each other.
Families wandered the square, ate corn dogs and funnel cake, and you could hear kids screaming on the Tilt-a-Whirl fair ride in the background (at first I thought girls were screaming over the guys in the band). Peter, Brian, Mark and Mike rocked it out, and on every side little ones and big ones were dancing, clapping and loving it.
Every time the band has played Plymouth in the park, these dancers have been smack in front of the stage enjoying the music by showing off their dance moves. The dapper gentleman in suspenders often twirls his cane when dancing solo. I kid you not, he was moving almost constantly for 3 hours. I'm amazed at both the stamina and the courage!My favorite song of the night was when Peter sang and played a cover solo of "Red House" by Jimi Hendrix. He was fantastic! I could listen to him play guitar all night. He becomes one with the instrument, and then we all become one with the music, and it's pure bliss.
