Comments on: The Show Must Go On! http://www.theslowcook.com/2009/12/19/the-show-must-go-on/ An urban insurgent's guide to real food for life Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:22:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ed Bruske http://www.theslowcook.com/2009/12/19/the-show-must-go-on/comment-page-1/#comment-3470 Ed Bruske Tue, 22 Dec 2009 13:49:56 +0000 http://www.theslowcook.com/?p=3490#comment-3470 Pattie, it was a great experience. I think I got a little choked up at a couple of points. It was totally worth the effot. Joanna, I'm seeing pictures of snow in jolly ol' England via Celia and it looks very lovely. Festive, even! Dodderer, sorry you couldn't make it. Obviously, lots of others were in the same boat. There must have been a story for every one of those chorus members who were undeterred. Julian, I'm one of those longtime Washingtonians who rarely makes it to the local attractions. I wanted this year to be different, especially for my daughter. But wouldn't you know it--she preferred playing in the snow with friends than trekking down to the Kennedy Center. That's why I was there along. Wwhat you did was inspiring and memorable. I have a suspicion that wasn't the first time you've played the organ--who would possibly know what to do with all those foot pedals, or the "buttons" as you called them. It was a great lesson in rising to the moment. And by all means, do come back. We're all about local food around here, although the garden is under about 16 inches of snow at the moment.

You recreated it beautifully for those of us who couldn't make it. It was so great to read your take on the Washington Chorus’s mid-blizzard concert.

We've got snow here, too, not so much as you, but we don't generally get it in December, and certainly not 9 inches. Happy hols, if I don't find time to revisit this week Joanna Truly a night to remember.

And how beautiful the snow must look! What a wonderful, story, Ed, about the positive energy that happens under adversity and the ability of the human spirit to soar, no matter what.
