irish tenor = sexy voice

So, the opportunity to see the Irish Tenors fell into our laps and we took it because it was free. Other than the cost of gas for driving to Tyler (very minimal) and getting my birthday dinner at Red Lobster (with the awesome $10 off coupon).

It was an awesome concert. The maestro (erik stern?) was so much fun to watch and the tenors were of course, magnifico! I think Scully is my favorite. They sang Irish songs and Christmas songs and such. "Amazing Grace"; "How Great Thou Art" gave me chills (or was that the chilly a/c?). I was literally moved to prayer and comforted in the uncertainty of our future here with Josh's job situation and the prayers to watch over the 3 pregnant teachers and their babies.

Jingle Bells will never be the same; and Silent Night (in Italian, German, and English) and O Holy Night (French and English) were beautiful. Danny Boy finale was great too! and the various solos that the Tenors took.

Now off to play Wii. Such a contrast...
