J.F. Brown Real Estate

On Sunday, August 28th, J.F. Brown Real Estate is helping to bring “The Steel Wheels” to Lime Kiln Theater. J.F. Brown Real Estate is sponsoring the event for the benefit of the S.P.C.A. to aid in their efforts to help homeless animals. Proceeds from this concert will go to that cause. A little information about “The Steel Wheels”: we saw them several months ago at the Mockingbird in Staunton after hearing high accolades from Robin and Linda Williams. They said the group was fabulous and that statement was no exaggeration. The musicianship, songwriting, and creativity are stellar; the sound is infectious, and the audience really gets into the music (more so than most any concert I have seen in recent years). We were very pleasantly surprised at just how good and fresh they really are. I thought it would be hard driving Bluegrass but it is far more varied than that with the influence of blues, bluegrass, old-time, and a new original genre of sound. They are hard to categorize and their high energy, balanced with sensitivity, is very powerful and enjoyable. Please consider coming to Lime Kiln in Lexington, Va. for ear and heart candy- plus it supports a good cause. Don’t wait too long for tickets, they sell out every show at the Mockingbird in Staunton.

July is right around the corner which means balloons will fill the skies of Lexington. Join us for the annual 4th of July Balloon Rally!

It’s nice to have rain when it’s dry, and this Spring has had plenty of moisture. It’s good for everything: crops, hay, grass for livestock, flora and fauna, gardens, and of course, the water table and drinking water. But, we have had rain a plenty and that brings out the kayakers, canoes, and rafts. It’s an exciting sport to enjoy, both from the boat or watching from shore. Here are a few pictures from Sunday, May 10th, 2009. These guys went by too fast to get names, but they asked if I’d post a few pictures on the blog. If anyone in the pictures calls with his identity, I’ll add the name to the picture if they want it there.
