An evening with Mr. John Williams

So last night Kevin and I went into Boston to see John Williams conduct the Boston Pops for a film night.  It was pretty exciting that 1.) We went out into Boston and didn't get lost, 2.) Didn't even worry about the kids, and 3.) Saw John Williams conduct a bunch of favorite film scores that he wrote himself.  As you can see below we were right at the front and could read and see the sheet music, the violinist in front of me chewed on a piece of gum during the whole performance.  I have always admired John Williams work even from a child, we are the family who likes to download film scores and soundtracks.  The music looked very complicated and it was great to see professionals at work.  He finished his scheduled songs and then came back out and played a work from the new Indiana Jones and from ET.  It was cool where we sat we could get a beverage service and snack, and we did.  The last time we did anything as a couple in Boston was before Daniel was born, so it was nice evening.  



Don't worry I will have more to post this weekend.  We have a few events planned this Memorial Day weekend and I will have the camera poised and ready.
