Winter Serenades - Performance Number One

We warmed up to the 40s today, even tho

it was very crispy when I went out to the barn

this morning.

 Two new blossoms and still more buds waiting to burst.

 It's so nice to have some color.

 At two I headed in to Brockport.  Ran a couple errands and ended

up at St. Lukes for the first winter concert presented by the

Greater Brockport Development Corporation.  This is the group

Gary is in and they also produce Summer Serenades at 

the Welcome Center.

 Today the guest artist was Jacob Fuhrman, an organist.

 It was inspired by this pipe organ that has quite a story.  

It was built in the 80s, not too far from here....in Bristol.

For many years it was in a church and ended up in Texas.

 An anonymous donor purchased it and gave it to St. Lukes.

 This afternoon they had an opportunity to show it off.

Brenda Trembly is the musical director for St. Lukes as well

as a DJ on our local NPR/Classical WXXI radio station.

Here she is with Jacob.  Both are very accomplished

at what they do. It was a great opportunity for those in the audience 

who may have or not heard a performance of this quality.

 There was a reception after the concert concluded.

 I did not get home until 5:30 as I stopped to get a pizza for dinner.

 Then I rushed around and went out to do evening chores.

 An easy dinner when the pups and I got back in the house.

It will look like this for the duration of the evening.

Night all.
