Yet another Thursday, yet another Sounds & Sights.

Billy Brandt and Sarana Verlin were playing by the railroad tracks.

Their percussionist listened very intently to his instrument.

The Danny James Band kept the Sylvan Building entertained.

The Bonfire Poets brought a crowd to the street in front of the police station. Just in case they forgot what they were doing and what day it was, they had a helpful sign to remind them.

Fred van Reesma and his brother Peter were playing in the alley by the barbershop.

The drumming Koppin enjoyed his job.
