Thursday was the final Sounds & Sights of 2014. Remember when it was just starting? Two and a half months goes quickly!

All eleven Thursdays featured good weather, a marvelous run I can’t recall happening in years past. Rain? Unusually high temperatures? None of that. Every Thursday was beautiful. Some more than others — I most enjoyed the October-like chill in the air this week — but all were beautiful. What a great year for Sounds & Sights!

Stormfront was on the library lawn.

Seven Bridges was by the courthouse.

Seven Bridges had FANS.

Yes, they were all enjoying the music. You’ll just have to trust me. THEY WERE.

Dave Boutette was in the alley.

Middle Street was the site of a surprise dance by Ballet Chelsea.

When the dance wrapped up, Escaping Pavement took over Middle Street.

These two were having lots of fun dancing to the music.

Old Friends were at the Sylvan.

The Bob Skon Trio was at the Glazier Building.

Their crowd was having fun, too.

The Dorkestra was under the clock tower gazebo.

So ends Sounds & Sights 2014.

Many thanks to all those who worked so hard to make Thursday evenings so much fun. I’m already looking forward to seeing all of you in downtown Chelsea on Thursdays next summer!
