What a great day! We left Nashville about 9 and stopped to tour The Hermitage, home of President Andrew Jackson, and learned more about his irrascible personality. Then we headed toward Cape Girardeau for our show. On the way to the church we saw a giant marquee that said "Welcome Twin Cities Bronze Handbell Concert". What a photo op!
The "Grace Notes" handbell choirs cooked dinner for us. Whenever we tour and have churches on the schedule, a highlight is the variety of delicious salads, main dishes, sides, and desserts we get to try. As Alec said, dinner is always better in the church basement. And it was!
The weather in Cape was absolutely beastly. I think the temp at 10 pm was 86 degrees, and the dewpoint was about the same. As always, Amazing Dave helped us unload and load the bus. He's a real treasure.
Our concert was really well attended, and we rocked the repertoire! The same comments seem to follow us around..."how DO you do that???", "You're amazing!" One of the attendees said she almost "jumped out of her skin" because the peformance was so electric. Woot for us!
Tomorrow Awesome Dave will drive us to St Louis to ride up in the arch, then on to Springfield, Il to tour the Lincoln Museum.
