Richard Marx is performing tonight with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Remember when he looked like this? These days he’s a bit more mature (short haircut, a family, etc.), and he’ll be performing songs like “Endless Summer Nights” on his acoustic guitar. This actually makes them sound very pretty (we heard him play this morning on Good Day Dallas so we can vouch). Here’s an interesting fact: Marx’s father was an “arranger,” and he adapted several of Marx’s hits to be played with an orchestra many years ago. Tonight he’ll be performing several of these songs with the DSO as a tribute. Another fun fact: Marx’s son Lucas will be on a new Fox television show in the fall called Ride-Along, playing the son of the main character, Jason Clarke. Now you know.
Planning to go to Cool Thursdays tonight at the Arboretum? Yep, me too. The weather looks kinda nasty, though. I just called them and they said the concert is still on, but to check the website after 3 pm for an update. Seems they will move the concert inside, to Rosine Hall, if it’s rainy. The view might not be quite the same, but hey, at least the sweating would be considerably less. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.
All kinds of fun things are happening here, rain or shine.
