Bad Rock and Roll…..

I am a child of rock and roll. I grew up in the 50's and 60's and can remember my father saying "You call that music?" It was the early days of a new kind of music - and I loved it all. Rock and roll followed me through high school and four years of college.

Now, a bit older, I listen to a wider selection of music. Usually, in fact, if not NPR it's the country radio station. But today I am listening to rock and roll….bad rock and roll.

There is a free picnic and concert in Veteran's Park just outside our deck. We usually love sitting on the deck looking at Lake Michigan or watching the activity in the park. There always seems to be something going on. Today is a free picnic and concert sponsored by a local church. There are games and a bouncy house for the kids, free food and perhaps some conversation for the parents and adults who attend.

But talking would be difficult. The band seems to feel that they can make up for lack of musical talent by really banging on the drums and singing everything at the loudest possible level.

The event runs from 2:00 - 7:00 and it is now 4:00 so we are about half-way through.

I think I'll take Fenway for a walk and head south.
