I’m glad you enjoyed your concert, and sorry you’re feeling so tired!

I do not understand the loud conversations at concerts phenomenon. I have learned that in situations like that, you have to try and move closer to the stage. There, people are more likely to be interested in the music.

Or another thing….I attended a very intimate concert, upstairs at a coffee house in Nashville. People were lined up around the block trying to get in, and there were only 70 or 80 seats to be had–it was a very special collaboration that was being featured that night. Therefore anyone lucky enough to get in had a much-coveted seat. The young woman sitting next to me text messaged throughout the entire concert. That would be her own business, but her phone screen kept lighting up next to me in the darkened room where everyone else was listening with rapt attention…she’d be busily texting away…very distracting!

Oh, Thanks Kara! Mari will be very excited. I’ve just loaded my iPod with your readings of Poems every child should know, and we’re heading to the coast for a Jazz/Classical music festival. Mari started listening to them last night (she thought they were just magical), and they should get her through the next two evenings in a strange bed. We’re very grateful for all of your readings.

Sounded like a great concert you saw, apart from noisy interruptions!
