Celtic Woman

Is it sad to say that being ditched by a group of people actually made me more comfortable and relaxed? Or that I was not surprised at all that I was an afterthought to their actions? I am so used to doing everything all by myself that being left as the single occupant of an entire row of seats in the balcony at Jones Hall was a bit heavenly. The concert was fabulous, even in the nose-bleed seats. I would highly recommend seeing Celtic Woman in concert.

During the second half of the show they had the audience sing along to the chorus of "Green Grow the Rushes." So much fun! I sang loudly since I was alone on my row and totally enjoyed myself. Then one of the women sang one of the songs I have sung in competitions: "The Water is Wide." I might have sang along a bit under my breath. When I stood up to leave, the woman sitting behind me grabbed my arm and told me I had a beautiful voice and should sing more. I thanked her and she said,

"Seriously, your voice is beautiful!"

I just smiled and thanked her again. Totally made my night!!

Then I got on the wrong street to go home and ended up on the opposite side of Houston from where I live. Didn't realize it because I was singing to the radio and enjoying the twisty-ness of Memorial Drive. Oops! Luckily I'm not a total idiot and, when I started paying attention, made a few turns and got back on the freeway and went home. 'Twas a good night.
