Oye Como Va

Last night we headed down to the bayfront to the Summer Festival of the Arts.


Totally random shot: Something has finally "clicked" for Liam when it comes to reading and now when we're out, we have to stop at various signs so he can read them aloud. In case you're interested, Sunrise Assisted Living is offering $1000 off moving expenses or first month's rent.

The Arts Festival is pretty big and there's lots to see and do. We got there a little late in the evening for good pics of the different booths and stuff. The main draw last night was Gregg Rolie Band. Gregg Rolie was the lead singer of Santana back in the day. That's his voice you hear on "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va." His band put on a great show. They did some originals and a lot of Santana songs.
This guy loved it.
This guy had the unenviable task of doing Carlos Santana's guitar parts. He was very good and was true to the original versions. Liam liked it so much he had to "breakdance." (I know this shot is burned out, but it was too funny not to share. My boy, the breakdancer.)

Love that music!

Those sunset shots are very pretty, so soft. And the new layout is a nice change of pace.

A lot is said through your photos here of a great summer's eve. The first two with backlit rigging are amazing! If you were posting "26 Things" that purple hat could sure qualify for "Did you see THAT?"
