My family and I went to Symphony on the Prairie last weekend here in Indy and the theme for the evening was The Beatles. They actually had four guys singing their songs who looked and sounded shockingly similar to the real thing...mop-tops, suits, English accents and all. With the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra behind them and the sun setting on the rolling hills of Conner Prairie as the backdrop, it was a great evening.
It was especially nice to be together with the family after a couple crazy months of summer. (Isn't summer supposed to be more relaxing?) Watching my dad get all excited as he re-lived the old days was pretty fun. He dragged my mom down closer to the stage so they could really "experience" the live music, and though we laughed at first, we all ended up down there by the end of the show. And he was right, the music did sound even better...plus, we got to watch a bunch of crazy Beatles fanatics and fearless dancers let loose to Twist and Shout.:)
Well, the whole wonderful experience has reignited my love of the Beatles. So, in tribute to the World's favorite British band...

Ash!
I think you have quite the way with words...your description of the evening sounded magical & fun. HOWEVER, I'm just going to tell myself that your writing made it sound so much more fun than it really was...that way I won't feel like I missed out. hehe :)
Miss you.
