I got together last night with some of the people I volunteer with at Food and Friends, One of them is going off to medical school in the not too distant future and we thought we'd get together and have a little party to send her off. Everyone brought stuff to eat. I brought sandwich fixings and some chocolate chip cookies. The container of cookies just kept jumping into my basket at the grocery store
So we went down to the Capital grounds last night and watched the rehearsal for tonight's concert. Now not all the performers were there. The guy from American Idol was a no show which as far as I was concerned was no big loss. Little Richard and showed up earlier to practice just about the time I arrived. The country artist Dierks Bentley was there and he was very good. Bebe Neuwirth was there too. She sang All that Jazz and Cabaret. They both were excellent. There was musical tribute to West Side Story by the National Symphony Orchestra and of course they played the 1812 Overture along with cannon.
It was a very enjoyable night we got to see just about all the performers that will be on tonight but with a lot fewer people in the audience.
