Ok, so SarahJayne posted a comment if you all remember on my post, "In Pursuit of Melodic Happiness," pretty much inviting me to come to this concert. So I said to myself, "why not?" And promptly replied, can I catch a ride with you guys? So here I was, a long lost friend (hopefully not too lost) and basically going from not ever seeing them to all of a sudden, BAM! I was going to a concert with them. Anyway, had a blast of a night, regardless of repeatedly breaking (or at least questioning) "protocol" (whatever that means), but was set straight by the Family Violist.
I also learned the bad rap that violists get from everyone else. I caught on rather quickly, and I think I insulted every violist I came in contact with. Of course, we made it up, but soon I was also informed, that cellists and violists get along together quite nicely. So of course I take it all back. Why can't we be friends?
Lastly, I unexpectedly earned my own applause at the concert for being a derelict stage hand, being called out during the performance, and my name announced, and reprimanded for forgetting to remove the music stand out of the cellist's way. But its all good, because I got to see her cello up close. It was beautiful.
So, to all you OPAYCO performers (especially the violists) good job. It was a great experience. Thanks to SarahJayne for "inviting" me, for Mark Moreland for accidentally being the reason I found Sarah's Blog, and for my dad for having a job we were doing in the area of Mr. Moreland at the time.
For Craigslist, for putting the idea in my dad's head that he would help pay for my cello if I traded for my iPod; for Apple for inventing the iPod, so I could trade it in the first place, for Steve Jobs, for starting apple,
And to God, who invented Steve Jobs, Antonio Vivaldi, Mark Moreland, SarahJayne, My dad, and me, and the entire universe; and through his good providence, guides all of history, every speck in a lighted window, to a complete perfect goal. Not saying that last night was a pinnacle of providence, just saying that it all works together, and I got to see it happen with good consequences.
Yet another reason to Fear God. & Fear Nought.
