Last night we had the Mark O'Connor concert. About 10 minutes before it started there was a flyover of 4 F16 planes from the Oklahoma Air National Guard. That was a treat. They were in formation and sounded really lound as they went overhead.

The concert was packed and I would say most of the people were not PCG. Actually I was expecting to enjoy fiddle music but I was totally amazed at the variety of styles and it was a wonderful concert, so uplifting. Mark O'Connor had 7 other musicians playing violin, cello, bass (cello?) and guitar. They played classical and jazz also. I was moved to tears by Mark's own composition
Appalachia Waltz played before the intermission with all 8 artists. Another highlight was a very skilled Canadian fiddler lady who combined a form of tap dancing with her fiddling - very entertaining. At the end the audience applauded for an encore and they played Amazing Grace.
