Back from my road trip. Last night on a walk downtown to see the local talent in the Franklin bandstand, I was treated to the unholy mixture of a Dan Fogleberg cover guy wildly amplified at the Celtic Cafe's outdoor plastic nightmare clashing against the locals singing at the bandstand. Tonight - same deal, only worse - this evening it was a horrendous classic rock cover band at the Celtic clashing with the oldies band
Phil Dirt and the Dozers. So what you say? Ugly but unavoidable you say? The deal is the Franklin Fine Arts Council gives money
to both organizations. Surely the could step in and make a no overlapping shows requirement as part of the grant money...
On a bright side - the crowd in the park was everything you want from a fourth concert - old guys in ball caps and suspenders, teens flirting and playing hackey sack, little kids doing cartwheels. Really perfect. Aside from the horrible noise that is....
Tomorrow in Bandstand Park as part of Franklin's Fourth at 7:00 PM the Vogues are playing (sponsored by Stubler Drive-thru Beverage - home of the "bargain shelf") Competing acts have yet to be named.
