6:47 PM: California Place Park is a relatively small triangle of land, but “we’re going to make it sound like a stadium,” promised Michael Pearsall before launching into his first song (“Awake and Alive”) as tonight’s Admiral Music in the Parks concert began. Concertgoers of all ages are here enjoying the evening.

Michael “and friends” will be performing until at least 8 pm. The concert is free – presented by the Admiral Neighborhood Association – just bring your own blanket/chair, food/drink, and enjoy.

8:28 PM: The concert just concluded. We’ll add video and more photos later; the third and final AMP concert this year is at Hamilton Viewpoint, 6:30 next Thursday (July 31), with The Flaming Pies presenting a tribute to The Beatles.

ADDED: Songs from the concert! Michael Pearsall began solo:

Then he made way for solo turns by the “Friends” on the bill – including Troy Aylesworth:

And Camille Watson:

And finally he fronted a full band that rocked its way through the rest of the almost-two-hour show:

Above, the crowd was estimated at 350 people, according to ANA president Joanie Jacobs (below with husband Dan Jacobs):

As you probably noticed in our video clips, the lawn in front of the performers became an exuberant toddler/preschooler dance floor again this week:

On the less-frenetic side of spectating were people participating in the Seattle Yarn knitting (etc.) circle:

Series sponsors on hand included PCC (which is a WSB sponsor too):

Speaking of food – if you’re coming next week, bring a nonperishable food donation if you can!

Volunteers from A Cleaner Alki handled cleanup as the crowd packed up.
