Thanks, Jennie. I'm sure you would have enjoyed it.

Acoustical note: Helzberg Hall in our Performing Arts Center is said to have great acoustics. I guess it does. Have you ever noticed that classical singers now put an H sound behind a K sound? (I asked one about it, and he said they do it on purpose to make the K stand out.)

At one point in the concert a bass put an H sound on the K sound which actually begins "Christ", and the puffy, aspirant H sound seemed to fill the whole hall and bounce off the walls. (I have good ears.)
