The other night, I was out walking the dog when I heard music floating down through the cool night air, which I soon saw was cascading down from a balcony across the street, where either 2 or 3 people were out making music. There was an acoustic guitar and a male and female voice singing in harmony. If I know this type of ensemble as well as I think, there were probably also some refreshing beverages involved with the performance.
What a great way to pass the time, playing and singing together with friends, and I was happy to participate, however obliquely, in the performance.
Then today I was heading up to my school's campus to watch the football game and coming down the street toward me was a marching band! I don't know where this little parade was going--does Brown's band march several blocks to the stadium? Regardless, despite the rainy weather, it made me smile to watch them pass me.
