Sunday morning Rod, Lisa S and I had the priviledge of attending a live taping of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. (Hey Lisa, is that your friend on the left side of the group displayed on their home page? Sure looks like him!)
The choir was amazing! The sound that these 360 voices make together is nothing short of breath-taking! Each syllable and note is spot on and absolutely beautiful! If you ever have the opportunity to hear this amazing choir in person do yourself a favour and go for it!
A nice gentleman asked Lisa where she was from and she shared why we together. He asked her to see him after the performance and he asked us about the girls (and saw a pic of Rose and Marie as great Daddy Rod had one in his wallet!) and then he gave each of us a CD of the choir. What a wonderful keepsake.
Afterwards Lisa W met us and took us on a tour of Temple Square. So pretty and inspite of the original weather forecasts you can see that it was a beautiful day.
What a neat experience to visit a place I have only seen in pictures. SLC is a beautiful city and I look forward to the day when I can return and see more of the sights around it! And, maybe meet Donny? LOL!!! Until then, this pic will have to do. This is for you Deb!
I chat up the nicest guys!! It was great seeing/hearing the choir again but even better being there with friends.
