Once again the Weather Channel icon on my phone glowed red and thunderstorms were predicted for the Wednesday evening concert at Anson Nixon Park in Kennett. And once again the storms didn't materialize. The Melton Brothers Band (along with a Melton son on keyboards for a few numbers) played a terrific set, including "I Call Your Name," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and a silly song about nuking chicken. Bob Beach on harmonica and vocals was terrific.
Perhaps waiting to see what the weather would do, people arrived late (which means they missed chiropractor Chad Laurence's spirited introduction of the band). And instead of arriving in groups, I noticed that people arrived one by one, the first member of the part setting up camp and then waving vigorously to signal to the others as they showed up.
This was my first time parking in the new lot at the park, near the tennis courts, where a crumbling maintenance shed used to stand. It's good solid gravel footing, although I did hear a sandal-wearing woman say she wished she had worn sneakers.
