Picnic in the Park: Marley's Ghost

Tuesday evening I went to the last Picnic in the Park concert for 2014. I missed the first half hour because I am building a new livestock feeder south of the barn and I didn't go until I was at a good stopping point in the build.

The band was: Marley's Ghost.

"The band can sing and play anything with spot-on feel, from roots to rock, blues to bluegrass, gospel to stone country, which is what they’ve been doing – to the ongoing delight of a fervent cult that includes many of their fellow musicians – throughout their first quarter century as a working unit. Their trademark multi-part harmonies never cease to captivate, whether on record or in live performance."

The band was excellent. They are not a local band. They have been together 25 years and it shows as they are a tight unit.

Their web site (http://www.marleysghost.com/) has some their music you can listen to.

I don't know what it is about concerts. People always seem to leave before the end. Usually the music gets better with the last songs getting better and better as the band wants to leave you with their best impression. Yet people leave before the last song. I'd rather miss the beginning and stay to the end.
