After visiting the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, we drove to Howe Meadow in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This week the Music in the Meadow features the reggae music of Carlos Jones and The PLUS Band. We both really enjoy Reggae music so we thought this would be fun. It ended up to be even more fun than we expected. Carlos has a big following of Reggae fans and if you ever wondered what happened to all the tie dye shirts and the hippies of yesteryear, we found them. What fun to watch all the characters and we had front row seats!

Carlos Jones "No More Crying"
This video is on Lee's camera so the picture is better but the sound isn't as good as on mine.

Drummin'
This guy was very enthused and he really danced and hopped around all night!
This lady was really fun to watch. She is definitely part of the groupie community. We don't know how she gets through that hair! We couldn't tell is she was really really old or just really weathered but she can really hop around. There's lots of life yet in her!

There was a lot of non-groupies at the concert too and they brought their dogs like last time. We enjoyed having a picnic dinner while we were watching the groupies and listening to the music. There is a reggae festival this weekend with lots of reggae groups from all over the country. We would love to attend, but unfortunately we have to work.

Hi Lee and Mary - you don't know me, but my fiancee and I were first introduced at this Carlos Jones concert - there are a couple shots of him here, so I've copied a couple of your pictures. Thanks for helping memorialize that day - it was a special day for us but we didn't know it at the time! How cool is that! I hope someday we'll be gypsies like you guys. You've been some wonderful places...carry on!
