More from Rooster's Wife

A big force behind this music series is commitment to community. Music brings a community together. It creates a bond between the audience and the performer and between the listeners as well. As that smart old Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”

I am in large debt to the local musicians who have shared their talent and enthusiasm to make this series a success. They have played, promoted, provided sound and advised a non-musician on how best to make this happen. This week, the Java Mules kicked off the show with the best in old tyme music. Allen, Amy, Linda, Rich and Stephen, a belated thank you for those great tunes. Love the condenser mics. What a difference they make! How lucky we are to have people in our community whose talent is matched by their generosity.

Now gentle reader, it is your turn. Support local business, music and community. Java Bean Plantation will keep you caffeinated, and up on the local music scene. May Street Market regularly features the Randy Hughes band who also promotes our series. Ronnie Huff plays with Jacked Up Hot Rod; catch that band when you can. The Town of Aberdeen believes music is important to our community. Let them know you agree. And Aging Outreach Services, our newest sponsor, will help the Rooster’s Wife bring more music to the aging community.

So, ‘nuf said. I look forward to seeing all of you and all of your friends at the last installment for summer, September 23rd at the Postmaster’s House, 204 E. South St.
