I love the Beatles. I can’t think of a better way to introduce my daughter to live music than a Beatles cover band.\u00a0 The music is bright and upbeat with out all those saccharine qualities that drive me nuts about so many childrens’ programs. And did I mention that I love the Beatles.<\/p>\n

How lucky was I that the first band to headline in the summer concert series at the mall across the street was just such a band? Incidentally, I used to see this band on occasion at the Phoenix Underground, and Doc Maynards, and other Pioneer Square hot spots nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

The mall created something of a carnival atmosphere, with food stands and a beer garden and balloons. Oh what fun.<\/p>\n

Gem and Daddy had fun too.\u00a0 Although I think they were much more into the balloon we tied to her stroller.<\/p>\n

\"015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve been trying to get her out of the house for all different kinds of experiences – but a live band across the street couldn’t get much more convenient. The concert series continues with a different band every Wednesday night through the rest of the summer. I think we’ll be back for more.<\/p>\n
