pegkerrI’ve never attended the Kingfield Porchfest before, but it’s well worth it. Perfect weather for it, too. In my ongoing quest to do more to enjoy the amenities of the city, I ventured out to experience it.
The sky was a perfect blue--that's at the top of the card. I've put together performers from a couple different bands in the image.
Some of the music was really good! Some was a little wobbly, but the onlookers took it all in good cheer. It made me think of the fact that before the era of recorded music, people learned music in order to entertain themselves and each other in the evenings. Recorded music means that people have come to expect perfection. Porchfest was a good reminder to me that music for much of humanity's history has been imperfect, but appreciated as a gift between neighbors and friends.
Next time I’ll remember to bring a lawn chair. And bug spray.
