I had never attended a St Patrick’s Day in Ft Myers. Until now. This year St Patrick’s Day – March 17 (and what would have been my 20th wedding anniversary with Jett) – fell on a Friday. And not just any Friday but the once-a-month Friday when Fort Myers has its MusicWalk, a celebration of music in downtown Fort Myers. It is always fun and I figured that this one would be even funner. So Marlene and I, along with friends Larry and Dottie, drove down for an afternoon of music and beer.
And some shopping, too. Can’t take Marlene and Dottie downtown without spending some time in the stores.
The featured band was Deb and the Dynamics, one of our favorite local bands. We have seen them many times this season, mostly at the Wednesday night street dances hosted by Cork Soakers in Cape Coral. But they got the big stage at the St Patrick’s Day festivities and the crowd loved them. What’s not to love?
We also listened to another band – can’t recall the name – where the lead singer was a former minister. Tending to a different flock, I guess. They were pretty good, too. Larry and I got some green beer at The Lodge and Marlene saw a custom bicycle that looked like a motorcycle. Pretty cool.
A fine St Patrick’s Day in Fort Myers.
