Aside from the novelty of having a tropical storm in November, Ida (now Tropical Depression Ida) didn't make much of an impression on Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We're having a damp, dreary day and some businesses opened on a delay this morning, but otherwise, everything is pretty much "business as usual".
Rain and clouds are likely to continue through tomorrow, but the forecast for the rest of the week is sunny and mid- to high 70's. Not bad for the middle of November, huh?
The Dunes are Alive...with the Sound of Music
What could be better than sitting down along the Alabama coast...toes in the sand, frosty drink in hand...listening to some of the best musical talent in the nation?
Music will waft over the Alabama Gulf Coast like a gulf breeze during the 25th Annual Frank Brown Songwriters' Festival. The festival (happening November 12-22) is a highlight of the fall season, bringing more than 100 songwriters from around the nation to croon their hearts out along our sandy shores. For 11 days, venues along the Alabama and Florida coast will offer a jam-packed schedule, featuring enough blues, country, gospel and rock-n-roll to soothe even the most savage beast.
The event, hosted by the world-famous Flora-Bama lounge on the Alabama/Florida border, is an opportunity to hear some of the songs we all know by heart, sung by the folks who penned them. And there’s no telling what new tunes will be unveiled.
Come tap your toes, snap your fingers and rock the night away. For a schedule of festival performances and venues, visit the festival websiteor call 850-492-SONG. Then boogie on over and book your visitright now so you won’t miss a single note.
