It’s been a quiet weekend. I went off to a street party yesterday a few blocks away from our apartment. Excellent music: diverse groups playing throughout the day and well into the evening. The street is lined with stores on the ground floor and apartments up above (as it is on our street). Each shop or restaurant had some sort of booth or culinary delight to offer the passer-by. The street was full enough to make people watching a very entertaining pastime, without being too full, which has happened in past years, thus making the whole experience noisy and claustrophobic.
The bands were mainly playing cover songs, but some of them played better than even the original. One band in particular sang Sting songs beautifully, which some of you might be saying isn’t difficult thing to do, since Sting can’t sing. Still… such a wonderful way to spend a few hours.
How about making meandering an Olympic sport?
