Artscape!
We went & it was beautiful again this year.
We we're able to hear the Isley Brothers but not actually see them, the joint was jammed packed! {& i'm kinda of "height challenged" & all my taller Husband could see was blue lights glare from the stage and the back of a bunch of big ol' heads .
so? You know i was outta luck on that!!!! lol lol
We arrived a little late But? It was Great just to hear them play, live, that "ash'e factor in effect !
I think my favorite Isley is Ernie Isley or whoever the Brother currently is on the main guitar, when "Who's that Lady", Summer Breeze, Hello it's Me , Footsteps in the Dark, Atlantis", and more - started to play, it was on! They did alot of the classic Isley grooves !
art
Lots' of Great Art, lots of great Exhibits & Jewelry, Fashions, Jazz, Photography & Sculpture-- lots of Theater & Cinema too, a Children's' Activity area that My Son's too young for right now - like Port Discovery & the National Aquarium
I picked up alot of nice art & jewelry yesterday!----along with many other great artist, who have stalls out there.
dogscape - almost everyone brings them - including my Brother in Law. Dogs were everywhere.
foodscape!
All kinds of food vendors - from Jamaican to Indian, American. {you can find many things vegetarian items, ask!
or think fries, pretzels, samosas or opt for vegetarian pad thai,.fruit smoothies} My Husband digs fish, seafood & crab, there was plenty of that type fare around to sample, even ribs & a beer garden.

a selection by the Isley's # 3 is my boo, Hope you feel better love - if you've ever heard the wicked guitar solo in this song? it would blow you away! -i'm sure i worried my parents with this one as child , playing air guitar, requesting tight leather jeans
when i wanted to "channel" my inner chrissy hynde, hopping around . to this song like tina turner, on redbull @ a late nite poco meetin lol lol ... [aka- i think this girl -child, here is gonna be a little wild?] jamming to it whenever they played the isley's music , when i was growing up ! http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3810606
summer breeze had slick guitar solo on the cut, also. [My Dad was a successful jazz musician on the side, i like mixing it up with a little rock [my rebellious days, but they actually have alot in common] My Mom still goes to Santana Concerts & thoroughly enjoys them - even as recent as last year, I think a little of it's rubbed off on me! --- My Poor Offspring, but i think Jr. can hang !!!]
