In Motion
 Loop
In Motion is one of the jewels of St. Louis street parties,
featuring live music and dance on three stages, children's art
activities in the Market in the Loop outdoor area, a dog talent
contest and a variety of sidewalk activities, even a little
Brazilian Capiero. One of the highlights of the festivities
was the performance by Johnnie Johnson and his All-Star band.
Johnnie, who has a star
on the U. City Walk of Fame, drew a large crowd of music
lovers on a glorious fall day to enjoy some living Blues history.
Coming out of a semi-retirement to provide vocals for the show
was Larry Thurston, who answered Gods calling a while back and
became a preacher. Beatle Bob was even on hand to mark this
as an official happening! From classics like After Hours, to
Down Home Blues, a great afternoon of Blues was served up to
a very appreciative crowd. Larry Thuston closed by sharing a
bit of Gospel in a stirring solo version of Amazing Grace. A
glorious ending to a fun afternoon of music in this world class
Blues town! Loop In Motion - make it a 'must do' on your future
social calender! |
