Unknown Band 9/30/18 Edgerton Park

Beautiful fall afternoon had me weeding and harvesting beats from the community garden patch. From a distance, I could hear the strains of a band playing a function at the park's carriage house. The first tune was Tom Petty's "Breakdown", a favorite from this clutched from the planet too soon rocker. Next up was an odd but lengthy intro to an even lengthier "Shakedown Street". So lengthy, that I was able to finish gardening and walk the park to peer through the bushes at this hip wedding. The band, as you'd expect, were hairy 30-somethings, obliviously grooving to their jammy output. The crowd, as you wouldn't expect, were a bunch of horrified, well-dressed oldsters parked at some circular tables in front of the band. Now I know it is a stretch for my live music blog to contain an entry pertaining to an unknown band at a show I wasn't truly at, but live music just happens. Traveling this world with big ears is some sage advice. To the hippie band at the oldster-laden wedding, I say "Play on Brother" because "The Music Never Stopped".
