Artist Dates, Week 19 ~ Sunday A'Fair - Peace and Community Day



On Sunday, January 16th I spent the whole afternoon in Old Town Scottsdale at Sunday A'Fair.  The theme for this concert was Peace and Community Day  - A day of unity in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. birthday.

The first musical group playing was a local favorite - Walt Richardson and the Peaceful Warriors. They were sensational.  I could have listened to them all afternoon.


The second performance was another local favorite -  jazz vocalist, Nancy Gee, and her protégée Judy Roberts.  Both women could really belt out a tune.









 
During the break at the concert I went over to SMoCA to check out their new exhibit - Dance with Camera.  Spanning films from the 1960s to today, Dance with Camera explores the visual and conceptual connections between Hollywood musicals, avant-garde cinema, postmodern dance and MTV.



Courage - fear that has said its prayers.
