Second Wind

Second Wind is the name of a great band in Cincinnati. For those of you who know my friend Willa, it's her husband's band. The group describes itself as a horn-charged rock and soul band. I like that. The brass section is truly their strength with precision timing and never a reason to squirm at any flat notes. Unfortunately, at this gig, the St. Margaret of York festival, they were all dressed casually. One of the lead singers was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and cowboy hat. I wish performers would realize they have to look good as well as sound good when they're on stage. I don't care how hot it is. But I noticed that they dress up when they need to according to the pics on their website. When I googled "Second Wind Cincinnati" I was taken to a site that listed them as one of many Cincinnati bands, but they do have their own: secondwind-band.com. Here's a video I took of them singing 25 or 6 to 4. You'll see what I mean about the horn section.
