Eight Hands in Praise

This evening Evelyn and I grabbed supper at LaRosa's (I came straight from work) and then headed to church to attend the special musical program planned for the monthly Evergreen banquet. Four musicians from our church, Joyce Lawson, Cindi Cooper, Deborah Kerr-Brenner, and Brent Ludwick, prepared almost an hour of music performed on four pianos assembled on the stage in the chapel. The music was wonderful, including classics, two remarkable solos--Debussy played by Joyce and Chopin played by Brent--and a slapstick send-up of Chopsticks complete with ladies in boas, Brent in tails, and pianists hamming it up while rotating between the pianos.
All of us knew these four people were talented; tonight they proved they are remarkable talents. What a wonderful way to end the day!
