concert for our times

Oh my goodness, the concert was awesome! Amazing, Joyous.

It was a concert “for the ages”, as I saw it. While the audience was skewed toward my friend’s and my ages, it was also skewed toward the ages of our kids. This made for almost two concerts. The first hour belonged to Brandy Clark, and the second hour to Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Then the two artists joined together for a rousing end.

While their ages are close to a generation apart, and their genres are unique, the music was of one voice.

I joked with my friend about the wheelchairs, the walkers, the braces, and my walking stick used to transport some of us into the theater. But you should have seen all of us dance!

The songs were so familiar that at times it was a sing-along. Hearing hundreds of voices singing along was so joyous!

MCC remarked that they were just about at the end of their tour, which began last June. I can’t imagine what it takes to travel by bus during the day, and perform at night. Over and over.

At the end of the concert, we all walked out smiling, with snippets of songs in our voices.

The murals above were from a walk we took earlier in the day; Luminous Lane Artwalk. What was once a neglected alley, now was transformed by muralists and street artists.
