A picture is worth a thousand words.

It's almost back!

Some years ago Redwood City was called 'Deadwood City' by a lot of it's residents. There were a few restaurants but Broadway and Main Streets - the main streets in town - were not exactly hopping. Since then the City has really revved things up and there are a lot of free music events to go to, restaurants to eat at and the Cinema to go to. There are people walking around town at night and the atmosphere is completely changed.

If you want to find who is playing on the Square just go to http://www.ci.redwood-city.ca.us/events/musiconthesquare.html

You will find a comprehensive list of Courthouse Square events throughout the Summer.

Saturday July 24th I enjoyed a performance by E.C. Scott at Angelica's Bistro on Main St. She was truly an amazing performer and I had a really good time. She made the evening enjoyable not only because her band was professional and tight, and not only because her timing and singing were right on, but she had a twinkle in her eye the whole time.

The part where she got down from the stage during "My Sweet Man" and asked each man in the audience if they would like her to kiss different body parts was hysterical and not the least bit smutty. There was also a Karaoke part where members of the audience were invited up to sing with her in "Stand By Me" - and surprisingly they did! And what voices they had too! Some really good voices got up and sang with Ms Scott and she was gracious, amusing and entertaining as she encouraged them to continue.

Overall a great experience and one I would definitely repeat.
