Just like all good and proper students everywhere, I have saved one monster assignment for the very last minute. The assignment is to blog consecutively for seven days. Sigh........ I've found three times a week to be a pretty hefty challenge, but we'll see if I have anything to say for seven days in a row.
Last night we went to the Ellen Eccles theater to see five people play the piano, actually a pair of pianos. Logan has an Opera Company which has a full orchestra as part of the company. The pianos players from the company put on a show called '8 Hands and 2 Pianos'. There were actually 10 hands, and at the finale all 10 hands played two pianos. You just had to be there.
One of the Logan claims to fame is all the musical talent that is everywhere in this town. There is the straight theater with accompanying music - that's the Lyric Theater and then there's the Opera Company with accompanying music - that's the Ellen Eccles Theater. As far as I can tell, it's about the same talent level with the Eccles winning out because THEIR SEATS ARE COMFORTABLE.
The Lyric Theater was build in 'ought something and the seats are those wooden folding seats - which they have put a cushion on, but they are designed for the 19th century behind. It's seats like these that really make me realize that Americans are getting BIGGER. Now, it's not all obesity; we are just better nourished and our bone structure is bigger than 100 years ago. If Drake, who doesn't have a fat cell in his body, thinks these chairs are too small, well, by gum, those chairs are too small.
