In case you missed the concert of Robert Kwan and Kevin Armstrong,tonight at the United Church in Nelson, you can tune in to this radio station to listen to some live organ music ( not by Robert Kwan necessarily) but it will give you an idea of the beauty of the music. Robert Kwan and Kevin Armstrong both grew up in Nelson and became accomplished musicians at an early age. Tonight they returned to give back to the community... a beutiful concert with songs from Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera and The Barber of Seville , as well as many other solo organ pieces by Bach and Mendelson...
Thank-you Joyce for my nice Birthday tickets to go see this concert with my daughter, Sonia (and Joyce, of course. !)
We all enjoyed a nice little nosh at JAckson's Hole before hand.

I can't say how much I appreciated my daughter's hard work and all the good turkey and many many goodies and fixin's that Lynn brought and also Joyce's best ever potatoe salad and cookies for the kids. Thank-you one and all for the lovely gifts...especially the prospects of a new computer from my hubby and girls . I am searching that out right now! It was a fun weekend and I will write more about it when time permits! Thank-you Eva and Correna and Joe for coming ....even if it was just for the day!
