It is refreshing when a singer admits openly, as Loveless said at the concert, “I am a hillbilly and proud of it.” From my seat in the front, I watched as the crowd sang along. Waves of nostalgia passed over me. These were the songs I heard on the radio and tape play er everyday on the way to school. My mom used to sing these songs while she cooked dinner and I did homework up stairs. Suddenly I realized I re ally should have gotten two tick ets for us to see this show to gether. The crowd applauded and begged for an encore despite the threatening thunder. Loveless is no stranger to fame. Her songs have topped the country music charts. Songs like “Timber I’m Falling in Love” and “I’m That Kind of Girl” are still crowd favorites. Riverbanks Botanical Garden has held outdoor concerts throughout June. Unfortunately this Thursday will be the last chance to enjoy a night of lively flowers and live music. Critically acclaimed Latin Jazz artist Pancho Sanchez will play at the garden tomorrow at 7 p.m. So grab your friends and a blanket tomorrow night and make your way to the garden.

HOROSCOPES ARIES Continue to be frugal with your financial resources. Use your imagination instead of your wallet to solve your dilemma. TAURUS You may have to just say “no” to a ridiculous suggestion. Arguments mean nothing to you once you’ve made up your mind. Ignore a bribe, too. It’s a false promise. GEMINI The pressure’s on, You’re being tested not in class, but in real life. Does your way of doing things really work? If not, make corrections. CANCER Don’t run right out and spend money that’s recently come your way. Let it sit for a while, drawing interest, while you sort priorities. LEO It feels like you aren’t making progress — more like you’re just digging a hole. A strong foundation is important, though. Take the time to do it right. VI RGO If you get your group well organized, you can gather the votes you need. The opposition is fierce, but you can be much more practical. LIBRA There sure are an awful lot of things you’d like to buy. Some of them might be good investments, too, but you’d be wiser to Stand pat. SCORPIO A person who thinks he knows everything is in for a rude awakening. Try to soften the blow, and protect your position by breaking the news gently. SAGITTARIUS Keep saving every penny you earn for renovations to your home. You’ll be so pleased once you get it fixed up just the way you want. First, devise a plan. CAPRICORN Don’t try to solve a problem by throwing money at it. That just won’t work this time. Instead, give this problem more of your time and attention. AQUARIUS A partner’s “good” suggestion simply needs a little work. Don’t agree to do it till you’ve thought the whole thing through. That’s a valuable contribution you can make to the partnership. PISCES Love inspires you to new heights. That part is wonderful. But if you forget to do something you promised, there’ll be consequences.
