First Friday of the month from 6 to 9 it's Music on Main, and Friday it was Dr. Dave in command

I know about about Jack Sigler of Tampa, writer of "Love Can Make You Happy," a No. 2 Billboard hit from 1969. Saw him at an Elks dance on Lena Road a few months ago. Beautiful, lush song that's melts your heart it's such a miracle and a timeless testimonial to young love.

I know about the husband and wife team Lee and Char, from New Year's Eve dances at the former El Rancho mobile home park, recently renamed Village on the Greens.

And I know about those audience pleasers, the Billy Rice Band.

There is more musical talent in these parts than you can shake a stick at.

Got a good look at the Dr. Dave Band on Friday at Lakewood Ranch's Music on Main concert. They were a smokin' band and I loved the red-hot fiddler. They are one of the few bands I've heard that is brave enough to take on Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way," and make it their own.

Here is a snippet of video from Friday night. Never seen the street so packed and so rockin'!
