Awesome concert!

Last night I was treated by my son and his wife to one of the best concerts. Carol and Becky even drove. Hubby decided to stay home and listen to the football games. He missed a great one!!! Our grandson belongs to the Baylor Jazz ensamble and they did a fund raising performance. It featured all the old 'big band' hits of the 30's and 40's. The students transcribed the original hits and played them exactly as performed by the original bands. Justin had 2 solo's and he just amazes me with his talent. He did one with the alto sax and one with the clarinet. All songs were familiar to 90 % of the audience, which was sold out. The last song was "Sing, Sing Sing with 2 professors playing the Gene Krupa style drums. Another professor did the clarinet solo. It was the long version and stunning. For the encore, they did "In the Mood".
After the concert and the refreshments, we got to see Justins apt. Very nice digs.
We got home just after 11PM. A very worthwhile time spent. (I did try taking a pic. but it was too dark.)
Last weekend we spent helping Carol move. We started Thursday mid day and finished up on Saturday with clean up. They are now in their new home surrounded by hundreds of boxes and weeks of work to empty and put away everything but it will be worth the effort.
The rest of the time has been spent with everyday chores and TV...............
Our team did beat last night!!! We could have a winning year this year after 3 long losing seasons. We even gave up our season tickets. However, we can get in free to any of the home games on our "Big Red Cards" (for senior citizens) so we can go when ever we choose.
