We had a wonderful concert Saturday night... we really enjoyed a young jazz pianist, Christian Sands who performed with his trio, and then with the male chorus I sing in, doing Oh Happy Day. There was also a fine sax player who did a long instrumental, just with piano accompaniment of Amazing Grace, starting out very slow and soulful, slowly moving up to a higher key and increasing the tempo until he was rocking like the wildest rhythm and blues sax player, and the pianist was doing a pretty good approximation of Ray Charles. Brought down the house.

And Saturday night, we went to the Doo Wop concert, which was so memorable.

Today, I'm planting grass and my wife is painting a shed.

Back to reality.

Are any of your gardeners? I haven't had a vegetable garden in years, but always loved it. It just seemed like my summer vacation occured right when the vegetables were coming ripe, and by the time I got back they'd passed their peak. Fortunately, we have local farmers who provide freshly picked produce to the nursery right down the road, so I don't want for fresh vegetables during the summer. Nothing like a freshly picked tomato..
