A very melodic Artwalk!

Danielle's last blog talked about how we did live shots from January's Artwalk with Randy Turner. Well, between the 5pm and 6pm shows, music filled the streets of downtown. I looked across the street from where we were set up, and in front of the Cockerell Building there was a 12-year-old girl playing the flute, all by herself.

Once I had a chance, I grabbed my news camera and went over there....she was playing for a couple of teenage girls, who were amazed with her talents!
