Two
down and two to go and
this isn't about the
races. We're talking
music. We are half way
through the Summer Twilight
Concert season at Powerhouse
Park . No green flashes
to report yet, but good
music for sure. The
series opened with Atomic
Groove in June; what
a dance band they are;
they had many of you
up front and moving
to their tunes. And
then in July we had
Midnight Ramblers and
their tribute to the
Rolling Stones; the
park was full and Del
Martian Bob Hughes and
group had all in a major
dance mode.
Any
of you who rocked with
the sounds of Crosby
, Stills, Nash and Young
will want to be at the
park on August 19, at
7 pm. This will bring
Cactus Twang and Whyte,
with Grano and Nash
and special guest Eve
Selis presenting Back
to the Garden, a CSN&Y
retrospective. They
have performed at Anthology
and delivered a great
rendition. On September
21, at 5 pm, we will
welcome Soul Seduction,
another great local
dance band that will
rev us up to close out
summer.
For
25 years the Del Mar
Foundation has presented
the Summer Twilight
Concert series; this
year with support of
the County of San Diego,
Office of Supervisor
Pam Slater-Price, the
Del Mar Thoroughbred
Club and local eateries
including El Pollo Loco,
Poseidon on the Beach,
Epazote Oceanview Steakhouse
and Pacifica Del Mar
. We say thanks and
please give them your
support.
It's
always good to see the
locals. Come early with
your family and friends,
your picnic gear and
grab a good spot to
see and hear our next
two concerts. Wine and
beer are OK in the park
at these events only.
Please be responsible.
It has been great to
see everyone have a
good evening at Powerhouse
Park this summer. Let
the music play on.
Bill
Michalsky, co-impresario
in training.
