thanks

We went to a concert Saturday night: cello and guitar.

The guitarist was born in the same Oklahoma town as my Biodad. The Cellist was from the old Yugoslavia. One studied music in Moscow (Russia, not Idaho), the other in several US Universities.

They met in a little college town Utah.

That was a few years ago. They are young, maybe mid 30’s, and are extremely eclectic in their music taste. Their music reflects a good bit of talent, but also a huge amount of hard work.

Sometimes when I hear someone do music quite well (not professional, but good) I thank them for taking the time to get good enough to bring enjoyment to others. Many people are exposed to music, but it does not “take” for all of the.

That is not all bad, the world needs listeners as well as performers, but I still admire those who play an instrument (a voice is an instrument) and do it well.

Here is a video of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwKblEHUq_c

Here is one of the songs they did tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9PtfVhRQx0&feature=related
