Deb and the Dynamics on the big stage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some shopping, too. Can’t take Marlene and Dottie downtown without spending some time in the stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The featured band was Deb and the Dynamics<\/a>, 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<\/a> 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlene and the guy who made this custom bicycle<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> and Marlene saw a custom bicycle that looked like a motorcycle. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
