It was SUCH a beautiful morning this morning – after a week or so of rain here, the sun was shining in full force and it finally felt warm! Sooo wonderful that today was Saturday so I could go out and enjoy it.
I had only been to the Austin Farmer’s Market once before, so I figured today would be the perfect day for that. Plus, I saw that there’d be live music, which made the adventure sound even more attractive.
This group is called the Steelhead String Band – I’m starting to really appreciate this type of music. Austin is def. not stereotypical Texas, so it seems that this type of music isn’t as common as you would think (or perhaps I just don’t know where to look). Regardless, I enjoy mostly any live music, but this style is just so…lively. …and there is a fiddle! And it makes people happy (and dance!).
The caller taught this random group of bystanders this appalachian style dance (learned something new today!) and, well, it was quite the enjoyable experience. I love that there were young people, old people, couples, babies, single people, etc. partaking. I also love the video at ~3:35 when the baby grabs a fist full of…something green and leafy? and shoves it in his mouth. (;
Anyway, enjoy, Y’ALL (just KIDDING!):
