From Blues to Dixieland, a riot of sound…

The guy on trombone also sings, does a pretty fair Satchmo imitation on “When the Saints…”

 

 

Riot In Midtown - Dogs
Maybe it’s OK to call off the dogs too?
Riot In Midtown - Cherries
Yep, it’s cherry season alright.
Riot In Midtown - Organic
And it’s all organic, says so right on the sign.
I’m may have to eat healthy for a little while. There are worse fates I guess.

My wife’s pix are much better than mine, even with my new iPhone. But hey, fresh flowers!
Riot In Midtown - Towels
Last but not least, I was just  interested in the towels. I didn’t even notice the guy’s t-shirt. Born to WHAT? Yikes, better call the cops!
