And may there be many fireworks in your life!
Actually I went to see fireworks Wednesday night because I'm going to be spending the Fourth at Willie Nelson's annual picnic. I've never seen Willie, and since he turned 80 this year, I figured I better not pass on the chance again :)
But they are both music legends, so they're forgiven.
Best performer of the day, hands down, was Ryan Bingham. His band was top notch on all fronts and just rocked the place. Most of you probably aren't very familiar with Bingham, but he's definitely worth checking out. He did win an Oscar for the theme song to the movie "Crazy Heart."
Runner-up was the Randy Rogers Band, which is now turning out some really good stuff after backing off on trying to do formula commercial country.
Best treat was a food truck that did exotic flavors on shaved ice. Hit the spot and then some on a very hot day. That and a bottle of water dumped over my head saved me from big trouble on the heat front.
