Patricia - I just watched the show. Great job accompanying Josh Groban. Which violinist are you? Front row? There were several good shots of the violins. What a fun gig!

Alas, I only saw the top of my head once for about 2 seconds. The violinist you saw most easily is from the Atlanta area. We were about half Macon, half Atlanta people. I was at the end of the row you saw. Next week sometime, there is a "behind the scenes" show which might have another opportunity for us to be seen. So, even though you didn't see me, I was there. And I know which parts got redone. Like the refrigerator didn't open the first time. And we did Josh's song twice. And amazingly, though he went flat while transitioning to the piano, it was amazingly in tune on the broadcast. Hmmm...

The musician's just get a paycheck-no goodies (I would really like that camera and fridge!), It was still fun to watch other people's jaws drop. We were most impressed with how her crew could work so quickly and efficiently. Now back to anonymity...
