&nbsp;&nbsp; It was a hot night in Avenue A Park on Saturday night: hot temperatures, hot music, a hot crowd, and hot food, but the tunes were cool and so was the free ice cream and popsicles.&nbsp; And what a crowd. . . the evening started out with highs at 100 degrees, but as the concert began a cool breeze swept through the park and brought increasing crowds.&nbsp; The non-profit on this night was The Sexual Assault Domestic Violence Center Inc. and they sold out of hotdogs and hamburgers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The evening began with some Southern Rock courtesy of John Rowdy.&nbsp; He sang some cover tunes and original material.&nbsp; One of his new songs, Alley Sun, was quite the hit with the crowd.&nbsp; Where I was sitting everyone was tapping their feet and dancing in their seats while Rowdy sang.&nbsp; So even through the song was new and the lyrics not yet familiar, the crowd support for this song <\/span><span><span>was huge<\/span>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-0merWczh9FU\/UeQO9Fl62tI\/AAAAAAAAC6A\/ehNj4lMj_Bs\/s1600\/IMG_1031.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/kjagradio.com\/theideamagazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/1d3c0366dc_IMG-1031.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sean Story returned for an impromptu appearance and sang a few songs of his own.&nbsp; He spotted Morgan Wilk in the crowd and had her come up on stage for a duet.&nbsp; I love that song!&nbsp; The crowd did too and I found out that the two of them are recording it in September for an upcoming CD.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-5WqK9L8xmRA\/UeQPNLad25I\/AAAAAAAAC6Q\/5DykZkAfn0w\/s1600\/DSC00033.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/kjagradio.com\/theideamagazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/1d3c0366dc_DSC00033.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then it was time for Simone du Garfunk to take the stage.&nbsp; This band is composed of Tammy and Bob Colladay.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve seen Bob around Hutchinson playing his ukulele and having a lot of fun.&nbsp; So I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect when I saw Bob and Tammy play together.&nbsp; They were really incredible.&nbsp; Bob played the bass and showed the crowd the versatility of his talent.&nbsp; If an instrument has strings, he has me convinced that he can play it, and play it well.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-xLjnxW2sZGQ\/UeQPGbDT3KI\/AAAAAAAAC6I\/DSS0j8tB2dM\/s1600\/DSC00058.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"294\" src=\"http:\/\/kjagradio.com\/theideamagazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/1d3c0366dc_DSC00058.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
