In the Messiah
Somehow our friend Jane managed to pick me out from a choir of 60 and orchestra of 15 during our Messiah concert December 3rd, Fredericksburg. Even Nick thought that looked like him on violin, but no, that’s a stand-in. Notice the trumpeter, biding his time, until the trumpet shall sound.
Same piece, same place, opposite direction, the night before the concert.
Won the cup
Karen H and I each won a mug for placing in our age groups at the Fredericksburg Blue and Gray Half-Marathon. My 9:53 pace was better than several recent attempts at this distance.
Duke Chapel
Marty checks the dates of James Buchanan Duke, 1856-1925, before we enter the chapel to hear a wonderful performance of Handel’s Messiah. Thanks to Jan, who’s been in the choir many years, for our great seats right up at the front.
