Our little ol' Nashville Symphony did a respectable job, especially considering it's still about 90 degrees here. I was a trumpet player during my misspent youth, and playing the works they performed is not an easy feat in an air-conditioned auditorium, much less in this heat and humidity.
FYI, the fireworks show was probably the biggest in Nashville history. I'm kinda ticked that I left downtown about 6:00 and missed it up close and personal.
All in all, I think we done ourselves proud.
Only problem with the Nashville show was poor old Brian Wilson. He can't sing a lick anymore but he is still a genius and the Beach Boys' music is still wonderful.
