Are you having a good time, Belvedere? 

Hip Service were.

Serving up a diverse collection of crowd pleasers.

Jackson 5, Beyonce, ABBA, Journey.

Tight.

Lyrics Born

 

At Stern Grove.

There is a live stream if you didn't make it.

 

Pointer Sisters

Give it up for Ruth Pointer

Still going strong at 79!,

Performing with her daughter and granddaughter.

Brazilian rhythms on a summers day. 

Nice.👌

We weren't expecting this.

But we got to sample the dark ambient of inscissors

Your presence there is not going unnoticed.

Got to see a jazz orchestra play at a house party (the house of the drummer; when did drummers get houses and not cardboard boxes to live in?

And there was this bonkers 50ft radius tree swing he built for his kids (and it's *totally* not a sex swing, I hear). It's pretty bonkers.


Was hit up about this just hours before it started; such a neat thing to stumble across. I knew 2.5ish people b4 I went there and came out probably having expanded the musician friend group in the area a bit. My kind of people (band nerds.) Such a good time.

Posted on FB, had an awesome Music and Audio day yesterday.  A vendor demo visit to a local dealer, met new people, listened to a near-$500K system, and reminisced with some old coots like myself who loved the Boston music scene in the 70's and 80's. 

Re-connected with an industry guy who I hadn't seen in maybe 25 years....got a hug of support when we shared our spouses' cancer history. His wife is still living, and I stressed to him to be ever-vigilant and monitor as much as possible; I'd rather scare people a bit and have them advocate than to keep losing lives thinking "I'm 100% cured."  I just hope she never has to go back to treatments.

But was a wonderful time.  I won a raffle item of a McIntosh-sponsored Johnny Cash audiophile LP set.  From the original Sun Master Tapes, 45rpm 180Gram vinyl, yada yada.  Looking forward to trying it out! 

On the live music scene, last night an Audio Buddy and I saw Hiromi on her Sonicwonder tour.  Just a stunning and engaging show!  I last saw her in 2013, and both times were just fantastic.  The venue was lovely as well....and an Angel's Envy neat in an "adult sippy cup" (plastic cup with plastic cover to help reduce spills) topped the eve off well.
