Summer Music

Every Thursday evening throughout the summer, Oxford hosts live music in the park uptown. It’s pretty sweet. It goes from seven-thirty until ten, but Angela and I wanted good seats, so we set up our folding chairs around seven. Arriving early is important. The townies enjoy live, rowdy music, and fill up the square. I will post pictures below as proof.
The band was a bluegrass group called New Found Road, but when the young woman announced them, she said New Found Glory, which is the name of a pop-punk group. New Found Road was an enjoyable experience, and Angela and I had our chairs on the edge of the clearing, so we were able to watch the crowd between songs.
Angela saw lots of the little kids she’s been watching at her preschool, and I don’t envy her spending five days a week with them. They were rowdy mini-townies. Twice during the show, they pulled down the chain barrier around the stage.
We’re continuing to walk and bike most places. Angela’s ridden her bike to work evey day, and I plan on doing the same when my classes start on Monday. We put a check on the calendar at the end of every day we don’t use the car. We’re grateful to be in a situation where we can avoid using the gas.
