Today’s weather was perfect for the start of the Blue Sky Concert Series on the Square in downtown Decatur. Jennifer Daniels came all the way from Nashville to play for the noon-time crowd that gathered under the trees. Hope to see everyone on Sunday night for the first September Concert on the Square, featuring Sweet AlisAbeth.

Children gather to hear Douglas Brake
Today was the last Blue Sky Concert for the month of May and I believe every child in Decatur was in attendance! Douglas Brake and the Sizzle Hiss Pop Band entertained with a variety of children songs, and even the adults were dancing. Maybe it was the break in the rain, or the fact that school is almost out, but it was very well attended and FUN!
The Blue Sky Concerts are produced by the Decatur Business Association 
and sponsored by SunTrust Bank and were co-sponsored this month by Little Shop of Stories and Montessori School at Emory. The concerts are run by a volunteer committee that staffs each concert, books the bands, and get the prizes that are given away at the intermission.
If you missed today’s concert, Douglas will be playing at the Decatur Beach Party on the new “Ponce Fun Pier” from 6 until 9 pm.

Baatin Muhammed
Baatin and Top Secret played the Concert on the Square this past Saturday night and they were a BIG hit! Baatin is a multi-talented musician who plays guitar, keyboard, and sax as well as having a great singing voice. His band played a lot of jazz mixed with some R&B and some oldies such as “My Girl”.
Otis Redding III
The band was also joined by special guest Otis Redding III. I had the pleasure of talking with Virgil Gibson, who was the lead singer of The Platters. Some of you may be old enough to remember The Platters! Virgil didn’t get up on stage, but was there to show support to his friends and fellow musicians. He ahs had quite an interesting career and has played all over Europe.
