Last Saturday there was an annual jazz band fest held at Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. The fest began on Thursday and ended on Saturday. I attended on Saturday. There were bands from elementary school all the
way up to college.

During the bands' lunch break, I went next door to Yeh Man Jamaican restaurant and picked up a mango and carrot juice. Since it was hot outside, I opted to stay inside the establishment drinking my beverage and listening to the reggae music that was playing. This is not a fancy place but it was clean and the owner was friendly. I'd had a large breakfast and so I didn't order from the menu. I do plan to try it out at a later date.

THAT'S IT for 10am until 12:30 pm for the day
Yeah.. comments is back. Thanks for the beautiful compliment on my post. That jazz event sounds like a great evening and in the last few years have turned my ears to jazz. I am still trying to understand the various jazz genre. I like the various posts chronicling the events/goings-on in alabama.. making me want to take a vacation to my birthplace.
