Music night in historic downtown Brenham.

My husband and I drove into town tonight for a free concert by "The Big Otis Show Band." Apparently, all during the month of July, there have been free concerts-- last weekend was music from the 1950s and 1960s..... we didn't know about it, so we missed a lot of good Beach Boys' music, among others, of course. Tonight was the final show in the summer concert series. (Wait a minute.... we still have a lot of summer to go here.......)

The town closed off the streets around the downtown area tonight, and the only cars allowed through were the old "muscle cars" of the 1950s and 1960s..... they had a nice display of vintage, fully restored cars parked along one of the main streets. They even had a vintage Shelby on display, along with an original-year Mustang.

The music was wonderful..... everyone singing along with "Dock of The Bay," and "My Girl," and "Play That Funky Music, White Boy." Great band..... and everyone was so focused on the music right there--- no one had a radio, no one was hosting their own party in the middle of the audience..... the show was the center of attention and proved once again that Brenham is a small town with a big heart. Wonderful evening.... there was a nice breeze blowing down East Alamo Street, so that was a nice bonus.

I love this town. I am so happy, so thankful to be right here in this spot on this planet.
