Appreciating: Music and Opportunity

I got an email that announced that Nestor Torres would be coming to play in a free Jazz concert at my local art museum: walking distance from my house.  I was excited because there are two local celebrities that I always wanted to see Jon Seceda and Nestor Torres.  If I saw Nestor Torres then both of those wishes would come true because I saw Jon Seceda earlier this year.  When I  arrived home on Friday, yesterday.  I was tired.  I questioned if I should  go.  Then at 7:15p.m, I changed my clothes, grabbed my camera and black umbrella and walked out the door.

I love walking my neighborhood  at night.  It is quiet and when people are out, they are usually  together.  Because I am a resident and my taxes pay for the museum, I get in for free, which is a nice perk. I love the various events the museum plan, but I only attend a few a year.

When I arrived at the museum, I was confused as where to go.  I wandered around for a while and  then  I saw the sign for the Meet and Greet where Nestor Torres was greeting fans.  I went back  outside and there he was! The Meet and Greet was over and was he was thanking everyone.

The museum grounds are under construction, so the usual place they set up the band stand was not available. The concert was in the parking lot in front of the police station.

The music was beautiful and sitting under the stars as it  rained on and off was so romantic.  It was nice. I am thankful  I had the experience.
