Alison Brown comes to Town

The Alison Brown Quartet played a free concert last Friday at the here in Lawrence. 

If you just want the pictures, they are here.

This was an outdoor concert, the day after Lawrence was the hottest spot in the nation at 109 degrees.  Everyone was moving a little slower than normal, but it was worth the heat.

From memory, here are a few of the songs they played, not in any particular order.

My Favorite Marsha
Spiderman Theme
The Wonderful Sea Voyage (of Holy St. Brendan)
Etouffee Brutus?
Shoot the Dog
Mambo Banjo
The Devil Went Down To Berkeley
Leaving Cottondale

Almost every song she played had a nice story behind it.  "Shoot the Dog" was the best, but I must leave you in suspense.  You have to hear her tell the story.
