Play the music fantastic

Sarah gave Mary a great birthday gift, that we used on November 13. She gave her two tickets to the TransSiberian Orchestra Holiday Concert in Salt Lake City. I developed an eye condition, we just couldn't "see" staying at work in the afternoon (still it was taken as the necessary vacation hours). John and Maria came down for the concert also. With Sarah's date, the six of us went to a great dinner at the Market Street Grill, near Sarah's apartment. Following the dinner, we drove to the concert, with several other hundred cars trying to arrive just-in-time.

The concert was fabulous. The music and musicians were outstanding. The staging was wonderful. The light and laser show added to the magic. I was entranced with the great story being told by music and by the engineering necessary to bring the show, instruments and voices to life. It is definitely a show worth going to each holiday season.

Thank you, Sarah, for such a great gift!
