And to think: I very nearly missed this event, and would have, if not for the JEA.
If I had missed out, then my ex would have, too, and that would have been a shame.
He is much fonder of many of the artists that performed - and much more knowledgeable of their music repertoire - than I am.
We both have too many people dear to us who have died from colon cancer: his Mom, my Great-Uncle Sam, my Grandpa, my Daddy, and friends along the way.
We both make sure to have colonoscopies regularly to guard against that beast. (In fact, I'm due for one near the end of this year, I think.)
I also very much liked The Gold Souls (they reminded me of Lake Street Dive!); Kermit Ruffins and his trumpet solo rendition of "What A Wonderful World"; K.F. Jacques' unique "Operatronic" experience; the glorious D-Composed, promising "Change Is Gonna Come"; and a trumpet and bass number called "Blues For Science".
Plus, I have a special mention of Rufus Wainwright singing "Hallelujah". Partly, that mention is because that song always makes me think of my ex and how much he enjoyed Jeff Buckley's version. (He let me know he very much enjoyed hearing the song in this show tonight.) Partly, that mention is because Rufus is the only artist that had two numbers during this two-hour plus concert.
I enjoyed this quintet of fellows, too!
Calling themselves "The Beacons", they are each and every one of them enterologists - and pretty fine musicians, too, as they demonstrated with The Beatles' "Imagine".
Good job, y'all!
I just may have to listen to the concert again, especially as it will be on the American College of Gastroenterology website for at least a little while.
Check it out sometime... and keep those guts in tune!
(smile!)
