“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”

Aldous Huxley

Music tops the list of things we all need for a richer life. We are fortunate in the Upper East Side of Texas to experience live performances in our local venues such as the Old Firehouse in Edom — reopening this week after a long hiatus. Read about upcoming performances by Adler & Hearne and others in this issue.

If silence is sweeter to your ears, try winter stargazing. Our article below describes ways to enjoy the night sky in our quiet rural spaces.

Find events, concerts, and exhibits around the region in the County Line eMagazine. Check out the January eEdition for stories and features and visit our calendar and Live Music sections. It’s all online in County Line Magazine.— Lisa Tang

During the clear, crisp nights of winter, there is no better time to bundle up and head outdoors to take in the spectacular star-dotted skies of the Upper East Side of Texas. Because the atmosphere during colder weather is usually calm, the stars at night appear even brighter than normally seen during the more turbulent summer. READ MORE.
