Grooving to the Sultans of Swing at Pier 54 this evening

Posted on July 13, 2008 by

Dave Berger Orchestra at Moondance on Pier 54
I had a lovely Sunday, starting with Quaker meeting, then brunch with my sister for her birthday, followed by some breaking practice at home.

In the evening, I headed out to Pier 54 on the Hudson River to catch Dave Berger and the Sultans of Swing playing swing music for the masses, sponsored by Dance Manhattan Studios.  It was simply a gorgeous evening, a cool breeze coming off the Hudson, the light fading into darkness, hundreds of dancers and music fans crammed onto the pier.  I got some really fun dances in with friends and strangers alike, and just enjoyed absorbing the happy vibe in the air.

After the concert, I had a relaxing bike ride home on my roommate Swifty’s sweet mountain bike that he has lent to me while he is traveling the next few weeks.  That should give me some time to figure out what I’m going to do about replacing my Brompton.
