Area Night

Tonight, we were entertained by Texans during "Area Night." The main session featured the Texas Boys' Choir, sponsored by a Fine Arts Academy in the area. They were really good...nice arrangement of "Amazing Grace" to a different but familiar tune, some scat music, a Broadway medley featuring "Beauty and the Beast" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from "Les Miserables," and "Poor Wayfarin' Stranger," which I know from a CD of Kristin Chenoweth's. They closed with an arrangement of "Irish Blessing." Very Texan, that one. (That was sarcasm, for those of you who don't know me well. But very loving sarcasm.) Anyways, the boys' choir was great.
We were sent out to a receptioin with REALLY good food and great performers...the young lady who was the voice of Jessie from "Toy Story" (Devon Dawson) and the Fort Worth Opry Cowgirls and the Lydia Patterson Institute Mariachis, based in El Paso.
They did a very nice job with it and I'm still enjoying the food. We're heading back toward legislative committee, and we might be staying later than anticipated because the shuttles might be running later than anticipated to help the committees finish late. So I'll see you on the other side...
