True that. To which we offer a musical antidote: Wallace Roney on trumpet performing "So What" by Miles Davis at Birdland in May 2004. Roney, a composer and bandleader who has worked with Davis, Sonny Rollins and Prince, will be performing tonight at Kennedy Plaza outside Boardwalk Hall, between Mississippi and Georgia Avenues, as part of the Chicken Bone Beach Concert Series in Atlantic City. The Youth Jazz Ensemble opens at 7 p.m.; Roney will perform at 8:30 p.m. Admission is free. In other musical highlights of the weekend, the Beach Boys will be playing on the beach in front of the Hilton at 6 p.m. on Friday, another free concert. And the House of Blues offers up a triple play with 50 Cent tonight, the Neville Brothers on the Fourth and Gretchen Wilson on the Fifth. There will be fireworks a day early tonight at both the Borgata and Bernie Robbins Stadium (after the Surf game). Now, don't forget your wetsuits.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
