It's the second week of June and the Great American Brass Band Festival is in full swing! Every year I look forward to the, four days of free outdoor music in the park, kettle corn, brass bands, antique cars, parades, gallery hops, carriage rides, families and pets, hot air balloon races and picnics galore.

A few years ago on this very day I was on a road trip with my mom, we drove through a small Kentucky town called Danville and were amazed at how it looked like a scene from a Norman Rockwell illustration. The kids playing under shade trees, families huddled on blankets enjoying a concert on the grassy lawn, puppies chasing frisbees, the smell of funnel cakes and everything was free of charge. Since moving to Kentucky, I've made a point to come back every year to that small town I fell in love with. This past year we caught a few hours of music downtown, and spent the evening laying in the bluegrass with our eyes to the sky awestruck by the hot air balloon races and the memorable sunset to follow. A year before that My Grandparents and Mother came to visit from Florida, my grandpop who passed away the following winter, drove around in his wheelchair taunting kids and their puppies and sneaking sweets when grandmom wasn't looking. I'll never forget it how happy he looked and how great it felt to share such a lovely tradition with my family.

You'll find me there this week, outside in the real world making memories at the Great American Brass Band Festival.

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but we own too many guitars! We have a small house and two of these guitars are locked up in a closet because we just don't have room. I've been meaning to sell the three on the left and use the profits to have Jon upgrade to Taylor.

So thanks QotD... anyone want to buy a guitar?
