Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead. –Benjamin Disraeli
Saturday night we, the Not-So-Little Bugs, Mr. Bug and I, had the wonderful opportunity to attend a concert by The Piano Guys. They are a favorite at our house. We saw them in concert a little over a year ago, and when I saw their tour schedule had a stop in Salt Lake City, I jumped at the chance to see them again.
The hall was at capacity and as expected, it was a wonderful concert. One of the highlights for me was when Steven Sharp Nelson, the cello player, invited his wife on stage and they performed together. She played the violin and he played the guitar. {He also plays the violin, piano and kick drum. Whaddaya know?} The piece is Ashokan Farewell.
Other highlights include Jon Schmidt's daughter performance in the choir, which sang Simple Gifts during their Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Simple Gifts mash-up. And Alex Boyé performed Peponi with them.
It was nearly 2½ hours of pure musical enjoyment.
And here's another amazing Piano Guys video.

I can tell by the tone of your post that this is something you really enjoy. Im so glad you got to see them in concert (and that you had such a wonderful time with your family too!)
Grr! I missed the concert here! I forgot all about them coming. They didn't have firm details when I checked the event schedule. It sounds so great. They always are~ especially with all the extra features.
