Frying Friday..

After bombarding you with traffic struggles and extreme makeovers for pools, so as a service to the readers, we’ll stay very short today . This heat is stultifying..

To Do:

St. Mary’s College: tonight’s River Concert has been moved back a half hour “for weather considerations”, like an extra 30 minutes would make some difference, but whatever. They are also considering moving it into the Athletic Center. Air conditioning and hard bleachers. I guess look at the colleges web site

Calvert Marine Museum – acoustic folk music concert by Dramtree-O from Norfolk, VA. $5 at 7pm tonight.

Historic St. Mary’s City – the annual Tidewater Archeology Weekend starts tomorrow, 10 to 4. Tours and actual digging opportunities. As an aside, don’t look for your favorite chapel docent to be on station this weekend. He doesn’t want to add to the 500 graves on site.

Leonardtown – Downtown Tunes tomorrow night “about six” on the square. Featured band will be Dance Hall Ghost, lead by local talent Gary Rue. Southern Rock, boogie woogie (is that word still used?) and so forth. Free, of course

At any or all of these things, DFW(eather), like buck naked..

Done:

MFO and I went up to Jefferson Patterson Park last night to hear a lecture by Tom Horsley, currently from the University of Michigan. Topic was “Revealing Buried Archeological Remains Using Geophysical Techniques”. He described magnetic, electromagnetic, and ground penetrating radar techniques to locate graves, buildings, palisades, roads, etc., that have become “buried” over the years. Interesting stuff. Techniques have been used at Historic St. Mary's City

Noted:

Kind of beyond our normal range, but of interest to some is a concert by Eric Bibb, the “Blues Troubadour”, to be held Sunday at 7pm in St. John’s Vianney Catholic Church in Prince Frederick. Having a blues concert in a Church is kind of an interesting paradox. Generally the subjects of most blues songs are not necessarily in line with the doctrine of the church. Tickets are a respectable $35, but he is sort of a national figure. What caught my interest is that he is the son of Leon Bibb, somebody I used to listen to in the folk music craze of the
'60's

Weather:

Please make it stop it hurts just to think of
