September signals an annual change

September and October are probably my two favorite months of the year. Together they take us through an annual change which can be viewed as the end of the Spring birth or the beginning of the Spring renewal. Certainly beautiful from both perspectives.

This month reflected this change for me as it began with a dog days of summer visit to Charleston, SC and as I previewed in the review of the Sept calendar for the Evening Muse in Aug., the month was musically rewarding for the folks who love live music in Charlotte - included porterdavis, Evelynn Rose, and Girls Guns & Glory. The Tosco House Party was a quick warm-up for the spectacular Tosco Music Party. A litany of performances graced the stages of the Neighborhood Theatre this month including Lost In The Trees and Sea Of Cortez.

At the Blues Brews & BBQ festival in uptown Charlotte, the local Southern Rock group Preacher Stone provided some down home southern fried musical lunch viddles for the doctors, bankers, lawyers and such...

Looking forward to October and the diversity it brings to our lives.

Cheers,

Monty
