Christmas Out and About

I went to a Christmas concert at the local mega-church this weekend. Overall, the whole deal was terrific. It sagged a bit in places where the vibe was a little too 'community arts' feeling for such an elaborate event, but it didn't disappoint either. What stood out was the performance of the church music director and his wife; they're both professional musicians and they gave it up for the audience. I've admired her voice for a while now, but the two of them harmonizing together offered an artful blend of passion and talent. Wonderful!
