Cartwheels at JMU Give
There is never a bad time to listen to live music. But my favorite time is when the sun is shining and there is not a cloud in the sky, and I get to attend an outdoor event. A high of 62ºF is perfect, so the heat of the crowd is bearable, but it is not so cold that my joints are frozen, so I can dance without hearing my knees and ankles crack.
