One last vestige of summer on my first "Friday" of the new semester: a rendezvous to Shady Grove for the tail end of their Unplugged at the Grove series. Similar to Blues on the Green, Shady Grove teams up with local sponsors to provide free live music on Thursdays during the summer. Tonight was Uncle Lucius. There are a few bands out there with deceiving names, which always keep me from checking them out. When I found out the name of tonight's band, I was bit suspicious of what kind of music they might be playing, and at Shady Grove no less! Contrary to images that come to mind at the mention of "Uncle Lucius," the music was a relaxing folk sound with warm vocals and a good mix of slow, quiet songs with upbeat tunes. Laying on the somehow green lawn of Shady Grove, praying for a cooling breeze, and enjoying a Live Oak Hefeweizen allowed me to forget the end of my last free summer. Where did this summer go?
