Just a lazy, cloudy day in the neighborhood. We listened to some live music taking place at a picnic table on the lawn of the Liberty Memorial. Songwriter Frank Rardon and his daughter Esther, who performs around the Smithville area, entertained us with some nice ballads and some of Frank's original music.

Frank entertained us with "Blue October", a song he wrote about the Royals.

"At the crack of the bat, you know where I'm at in Blue October."
"I'm out at the "K", it's a mighty fine day in Blue October."

People were enjoying the mild weather, and even this dog appreciated the music.
