A Little Wistful
Although I think of Dad a lot for no specific reason and miss him for a million, I felt particularly wistful a couple of times this past week-end, both of them at concerts that reminded me of how much he loved music. Two of his favorites were blue grass and opera.
Friday night Jim and I went to the Birchmere to see Rhonda Vincent and the Rage ( http://www.rhondavincent.com/). She is the seven time female International Blue Grass Music Association's best female singer of the year....and it's clear why. Except, perhaps, for some of the gospel songs, I think Dad would have really loved it.
Yesterday afternoon, I met Elizabeth at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (http://claricesmithcenter.umd.edu/2007/) at the University of Maryland where we enjoyed a free performance by the Maryland Opera Studio and UM School of Music (http://www.music.umd.edu/ensembles/opera) of Don Giovanni, which got a great review in today's W. Post.
Sigh.
