Danville
Danville, KY is a quintessential, small, American, Southern town with a Main Street and all. We were driving here to attend my Aunt’s memorial service. Fortunately, we were also able to attend the Brass Band Festival — one of its main tourists attractions. I had never heard of it before but it was a huge deal on Centre College’s campus. The music was a mix of traditional Sousa type brass, jazz and classical. Folks from Louisville attended setting up themed tables in which they competed for the best decorations. It made a somewhat emotional time enjoyable. We missed the hot air balloon part, but coincidentally I wrote about balloons last Friday, as it was occurring in Danville.
My son told me about this band, Yesterday’s Last Quintet — very jazzy, hip-hop and electronic blues influences by the musical artist Madlib. Worth checking out at LastFM for more tunes. A little jazzy brass to Kick-start your weekend.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
