Yes, it's another free music festival weekend here in Detroit! This one--the Concert of Colors--celebrates our diversity and connection to all the peoples of the world. It is one of my favorite weekends of the entire festival season.

This photo--NOT a composite for once!--shows us dancing to the final act of the evening, the Basiks, a reggae/ska/motown band that really rocks. Before that, I'd experienced a wonderfully diverse line-up of performers including India's Sikh musician Dya Singh who now lives in Australia, Tish Hinajosa, the popular Mexican-American vocalist and her excellent guitar/mandolin & bass players, and South Africa's Hugh Masekela and his band.

Today (Saturday) we're celebrating Ed's brother's 80th birthday with our out-of-town nieces, nephews and great-nieces--I can't wait!--so the Concert of Colors will have to get along without me. But I'll be back tomorrow for the final day.
