For a Family Home Evening with our Empty Nester's group we went to Brigham Young Historic Park last night and heard the Utah Nat'l Guard 23rd Army Band. It was quite the program. You would think we would just hear patriotic music, but we were thrilled to hear the "Instep" Barbershop Quartet from the band sing "Ghost Chickens in the Sky" a silly take off of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". We laughed and laughed it was so cleverly done. There was seating for approx 200 people as well as blanket room in the back. I've never been to the park which is kitty corner to the Conference Center. There is a small replica of a grist mill wheel that moves the water in a small pond. I didn't get to investigate too much but it looks like they have concrete areas where you can sit and picnic. We may come again because the venue looks pretty interesting and the price is right, free!
On July 11 they are having "Kindred Voices" who sing Celtic folk songs and original music from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. Every Tuesday and Friday during June, July, and August they present concerts. I am thinking on August 12 we should make a return visit. The program features "The Other Three Tenors" billed as a lighthearted musical parody of the world's most famous tenor trio.
Just as we were leaving the concert Rick got a call from the Elders, who had locked themselves out of the house. We have a key safe on the door frame to the basement that requires a code and the key drops out; that way you never have to carry the key. Unfortunately they left the key on the window sill the last time they went in instead of putting it back. They entertained themselves at the Duncan's until we arrived home almost 45 minutes later. The irony was the front door had been left unlocked, which we didn't realize until we got home, and they could have just walked in!
It's going to be a hot 4th of July. Considering gas prices and the heat maybe we'll just celebrate in the neighbor's kiddie pool.
