Spending another nice evening on the square in Indianola

Tuesday evening, Linda and I set out for the square in Indianola to spend a couple of hours in lawn chairs with the locals listening to another bluegrass band. Unlike the Minnesota based group we saw a couple of weeks ago, Southern Reign is mostly a central Iowa family band; the two women are apparently sisters and one of them recently married the banjo player. Not as polished as Munroe Crossing, this quartet made up for it in with a cascade of fine bluegrass numbers that, to the best of my knowledge, didn't repeat what we'd heard last time we were there. Their setlist did come up about ten minutes short but they were able to pull a couple of pieces off the shelf and finish their time nicely. It was a beautiful Midwestern evening to be out. Unfortunately, they won't last long ... and, also unfortunately, the schedule is running out as well. It's been nice to sit in with the locals and enjoy one of their treats.
