Tuesday night was Walker/Wilson girl's night out. We all (excluding Mary Ellen) went to the Civic Center to see Mannheim Steamroller. I think all enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed watching all the different instruments that make some of their music which I have enjoyed listening to for years. I didn't realize until that evening how much "Renaissance" type music was mixed into their arrangements. I thought recorders were instruments that little kids played in elementary school. But they use many different size (tones) of recorders for their music and I enjoyed watching them play these. There was also a lute. Never knew what a lute was, other than it is mentioned in the Bible as an instrument to be used so now I am better informed. I'll never listen to Mannheim Steamroller Christmas songs in the same way again. Attending the concert in addition to me was Beth Walker, Kari Walker, Alicia Wilson and Leah Wilson.
