in what has been a long hot day at the beach. Gregg Allman is about to hit the stage following a nice performance by former Drive by Trucker Jason Isbell as the headliner to his Laid Back Festivsl at the Jobes Beach venue.

Marshal Tucker Band played a lackluster half our set on the main stage after Allman Brothers Band legend Jaimo started the day off with a bluesy set in the Low Country second stage. America played an hour of hits and deep tracks on the Laid Back main stage which an appreciative crowd enjoyed but the big revelation for me tonight was how much fun the band Orleans is.

As a cool ocean breeze blows into the amphitheater, Mr. Allman and his band will take us home.

Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy appear at the Theater at Madison Square Garden tonight with Billy Joel playing the big room upstairs at the same time. I think the last time I remember this happening Van Morrison was in the Theater while the Rolling Stones shook the Garden arena.

There will be a Traffic Jam in midtown Manhattan tonight.

Florida Georgia Line headline a country lineup at the Jones Beach Theater tonight on a hot and humid mid-July evening on Long Island.

I happened to see the band’s tractor trailers and tour buses traveling westbound down Merrick Road in Seaford on their way to Wantagh Parkway and the beach.

The road goes on forever.

Rock on.

I’ve heard of Cowboy Junkies but don’t know their music; another musical adventure.

Early show starts at 7 and ends at 8:30-

This must be what Florida is like.

My seat to the extreme right of the stage would have been ideal except for a tent next to the stage. Being unable to see Mr. Dylan from this vantage point just adds to his mysterious persona as his gravelly voice wafts into the cloudy Queens sky.

There’s a slow train coming and it’s not the 7 line.

A legend’s road goes on forever.
