Festival reviews!
Loop
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! |
