goldtown rips it up on the town green

we live in dorset, but when we say we're going to town, it's really manchester, about 9 miles away. in dorset we have no traffic lights, a couple general stores, a post office and some inns. manchester, for the past few years, has been hosting a series of tueday evening free concerts on the green and last night was will's band, goldtown's, first appearance there. several people, including the woman who organizes the events, said last night was, by far, the biggest crowd ever ... and, they were psyched ... it was a great show! ..click the photos to enlarge them ... .
after an early afternoon shower threat, the sky cleared and it was a perfect summer evening, sunny and 72 degrees. it was my first concert with a serious waterfall in the background and loaded log trucks passing by, but the sound was great. lots of kids, like our friend kate's, and andrew weill , the glass blower's below. kate's kid had on her best too-too and did some great dancing.
andrew, on the other hand, looked like he was carrying a six pack ... but kit rescued her for a moment below. andrew said it was his daughter's third goldtown event, counting one in utero ...
they closed with a traditional tune, 'ruben's train'. i'm not a video guy, but i took this one and you can feel the energy of the crowd by watching it. even ma was dancin' ....
great crowd ..
great waterfall ...
