Things On a Platter

Continuing my comments about the MWS Christmas Concert, I thought I'd show you a couple of "things on a platter" from that delightful evening. First of all, we went to Cossetta's before the concert for chicken marsala on a platter. Note the Buckler "near" beer (we were going to a "Christian" concert, after all).
Nothing on a platter here, but Melinda Doolittle has a beautiful voice. Apparently, the X-cel Center is struggling, I'm thinking maybe they didn't pay their light bill, because they forgot to turn the stage lights on most of the night. Note here "the star" is singing backup in the dark. Sometimes, as you will see in a minute, the only light on was a spotlight on the piano! I happen to like Christa Black who is the backup singer right behind Melinda. She also plays the violin and guitar at MWS concerts, but not this time.
Another shot from our front row seats. Lots of leg room! It was great!
Right in front of us, all night was this guy. He played all sorts of interesting and ancient fife-bagpipe-recorder type instruments. Here is my favorite instrument. I have no idea what it is, but it sounded lovely. I'm sure someone (Barb J?) will know what it is (if they can see it, this was as light as the stage got!)
Finally, that MWS fellow plays the piano. A lot. When he did, this is what we saw. Mr. D referred to the pose as MWS on a platter. And thus ends our concert memories (since I forgot to take photos of our desserts at Cafe Latte--on a platter, of course).

Apparently, the Melinda Doolittle promo machine is working well. What this world needs is more Melinda-luv.

The MWS picture is good becuz one can conjecture about many things--for instance,is he in a cast up to his neck? Could he still sing in that condition? Did he use a wheelchair? Does his mother know?
