Sunday evening greetings! Richard and I are back from our impromptu vacation in lovely Oxford, OH. We waited yesterday until after the mail had been delivered, then headed west. We checked into our hotel, I watched the end of the figure skating pairs competition, and then we took a drive around town. It's changed a lot, both on campus and off. We found a great parking space near the concert hall, walked uptown for dinner, then spent about an hour in the library before going to the concert.
The Miami club opened the show with some selections, including a very grim piece about 5 ways to kill a man. We decided that we never need to hear that one again. There was much made about the 8 singers who were injured earlier this month when the Club was on tour. The van they were in went off the road in Erie, PA. Six of them sang with the ensemble last night and the other 2 were in the audience with their families. Those 2 joined the group on stage for "Johnny Schmoker," cervical collars, casts, and all.
Then it was time for the white-tie-and-tails University of Michigan Men's Glee Club. They were great, as always, and were joined at the end by the Miami group. Those 2 glee clubs combined produce an awesome sound.
We got back to the hotel in time for me to see the end of the ladies' skating event and today we got home from church (worship and meeting) and errands in time to see the mens'. I'm really out of the skating loop - I hardly know any of these people.
