Yes - FREE!! Free concerts all summer long. What a great little town I live in. Aiken, South Carolina.

Enter the gardens and you get the feeling that you are in a different world - possibly even stepping back into time. Giant old trees tower over the main entrance path provide shade on a summers day. Listen to the birds. Smell the flowers. Hear the … (5 comments)

So many of you have your playlists on your profile, I had never even thought of putting mine up here on A/R. I've got my myspace page rocking out, though!

Thanks for any ideas :) Ok - so I figured it out. But decided against it. I took it off - don't want to cause slow page loads for consumers. … (1 comments)
