In all honesty, this Holiday season has been a blur. I’m not about to say, “omg I’m so busy,” mainly because I know that everyone has been busy. I have, however, had the chance to take time to enjoy some of my favorite holiday traditions.
The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra presented one of the best Peppermint Pops concerts that I have seen in a long time. Starting in high school and continuing for several years I was a member in the philharmonic chorus. It was always a special event…singing behind a full orchestra, getting to meet some very talented guest artist, and just being a part of sharing holiday spirits with so many people. While I would have given my left arm (I really have no need for it) to be on stage this year, I enjoyed being an audience member. This year one of the two guest soloist was Evansville native Steve Morgan. Mr. Morgan is one of the original members of Straight No Chaser. I am a huge fan of men’s a cappella groups…and these guys are amazing.
Music is always a central factor in this time of the year. From church to NPR broadcasts to singing in the shower…Christmastime is here. Speaking of church, this was the first year I have ever heard Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming with a drum beat added. Oh well…
So…enjoy the Twelve Days of Christmas…Straight No Chaser style!
