 Meriden Celebrated its 200th year tonight and Chuck Berry did the honors. I have great shots in much better focus, however this one seemed to fit the Bokah requirements best...?

His band was a little rough around the edges but the legend did his thang...

Not sure I see anything here I'd consider bokeh. Looks like the whole shot suffers from a bit of motion blur.

Great Shadow. It would have been perfect in the Shadow challange, might have won a ribbon.

Not sure which bit is out of focus, if any. Certainly no 'interest' in an out of focus foreground or background
