Summer Music In The Park
Summer in Maine. The image comes to mind of leisurely sitting under a shade tree, enjoying lemonade and listening to soft music. No thank you. I live in Scarborough, Maine and we have a relatively new town center park. It has the obligatory pond, walking paths, soccer fields, and a terraced area for band concerts. I’m not into soft music, nor am I into marching band music. (Nothing personal for those who are.) However, the other evening, my wife and I attended a music concert at the park. This concert was more to my liking with a disco band called Motor Booty Affair. These guys were good!
There were probably easily a thousand people in attendance, and all ages, from children who were six months old to adults easily in their 80s. Lots of moms and dads, and the kids were dancing, laughing and having a good time. I hadn’t been to a live concert in quite a while and it was interesting to see the difference since the last time. Instead of the air being filled with the usual smoke of some illegal substance, the air was filled with the smell of grease and cholesterol from fried dough and hamburgers. This put a whole new spin on a live “rock” concert.
It was a lot of fun, but certainly different than my memories from 30+ years ago.
