PANDEMIC IN SPRINGTIME - SOLOIST


There is another good sized hill in Forest Park known as Government Hill. It leads up to what we call the World's Fair Pavilion. It was actually built five years before the 1904 Exposition (think of Meet Me In St. Louis, Louis). Quite striking and worth a look here, https://flic.kr/p/qZqnVq.  

Anyway, this man was sitting by himself playing his banjo beneath the pavilion. He was near a grove of trees that muffled the sound. As we approached, passed by and walked away, it felt like passing through a soft cloud of music.

You have to keep up with your skills and knowledge. That goes for everyone. Musicians and photographers alike.

A pleasant little mist of music.

How nice to come across this musician and hear his music. If he was here he would be questioned about where he lived and it should be within 2km of his house. If not he could face being detained. A group of people got detained for violationg the restrictions and now have a court date.
