No Fret Jazz

It's time to think about the 10th Annual Kettle Moraine Jazz Festival coming to Riverside Park in West Bend September 7th and 8th. Just 40 or so miles northeast of the City of Waukesha, West Bend resembles Waukesha in that it too has a river running through a delightful downtown. Be sure to get your tickets in advance because the gate prices are $125.00 for both days or $75.00 for one.

Or you could travel just a few blocks to the Les Paul Performance Center in Cutler Park any Wednesday in August for free jazz. The music starts at 7:00. I was one of many enjoying the warm weather, beautiful park and surprisingly good tunes last night . . . and really got my money's worth!

Resting on an Indian mound, bare feet on soft grass, I watched a young girl beg and plead with her grandma to not make her leave the concert early. I know how she must have felt. When the weather is right and everything is fine I sometimes get the kind of feeling that I don't want to see end either.

I don't consider myself a jazz fan but I appreciate good music. Does that make sense? The lineup for August is: Aug. 8th - Mestura Fina. Aug. 15th - Rhythm Voyage. Aug. 22nd - Robin Pluer. and Aug. 29th - Nabori Salsa.

Thanks Andy
