Music is in the air, as summer festivals again spark the entertainment scene in Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Newport, Kansas City and many other cities. Get out there and have a great time.

The Orange marching season in Northern Ireland doesn't have near the charm as a well-rounded musical event. Yet as of mid-July, there have been few — if any — serious disturbances scarring the landscape. That's good, a really welcome relief for all sides of the political-cultural spectrum in the North. Let's hope that this might be a signal for more and more peaceful compromise.

So, now it's time to find a seat in front of the stage, order up a refreshing beverage, apply the sunscreen oil and get down for some grand Irish boogie. See ya all at the ticket booth.
