Walking east up a carless JFK Boulevard, I stopped in front of the Arboretum because there was more music in the air.
This time it was live musicians...
...playing at the entrance to a pedestrian tunnel under a bridge.
They were called The Fell Swoop, a seven-piece local band who were featuring a few guest artists in Golden Gate Park.
According to their
website bio, "When not playing traditional venues, the band is often found busking on the streets of SF. Powered by battery amps and a suitcase drum kit, they've been known to create dance parties right on the sidewalks of the Mission district."
They were tight, funky, and good musicians. Stumbling across them felt like a small, surprising blessing.
