Major Magick headed on the road to Southern Pines (or some other nearby city - the confusion of that day makes the actual location of the gig quite foggy now) on July 5th for a soul show of sorts. The band played a lot of old greats & the audience ate it up. Though it was sweltering and nothing seemed to be going right, the boys pulled it off as usual. And yes guys, I have a picture of all 5 of you... at one time. By the way, the nearly identical dancing couples were getting down to a nearly 7 minute version of "Let's Get It On!"

After a long hiatus, I'm back and with more photos than ever. There's a stockpile just longing to be put on this blog & now that I finally have the Internet, a flow of posts will be up very soon!
Nestled in downtown Asheville, NC, a gathering occurs every year. For the past 31 years, the Bele Chere festival has taken over the historic downtown of the mountain city for a weekend. Sheila and I headed down to the celebration with her family in tow to take in the art, music, people, and atmosphere - my favorite part is always the smell of the food, even if I never choose to indulge in any. These, again, were taken on my Cybershot as it is easier than lugging around the Nikon, especially when the buildings force strangers closer to one another than is the norm.
