One thing that is different since I was here last time is that Charlie and Marilyn now proudly display their registered trademark for Soup and Song House Concerts®!
A deliciously delicate potato-leek soup was what was chosen for this concert. Charlie and Marilyn pair the soup with the music and use each soup recipe only once!
The product table displays my CDs, DVDs email list and information for JamPlay.com and Concerts In Your Home (www.concertsinyourhome.com), a website which provides information to people who wish to host live music in their homes. ("Can you remember all the mistakes we made? The year we ordered cheesecakes and everyone who came almost had an entire cheesecake to him or herself?" Charlie and Marilyn reminisce!)
Michael Gilmore, an APO fraternity brother and Glee Club Old Man comes over from Silver Spring for the concert! So fun to re-connect and catch up. There is another couple who say, “You accompanied us on our trip across the country last year!” (They listened to "a piece of it all" and sang along with many of the songs tonight!)
I once again sang West Virginia Mining Disaster, I Miss America. Charlie joined me with his special harmonies for We Are an Answer to Prayer, and we closed the show with "an ancient Israeli melody" which served as Charlie's mountain dulcimer performing debut: Sloop John B.
This was an excellent first concert of the tour, but now I am packing up to leave eeeeearly tomorrow morning for Columbus, Ohio!
