We have seen Martina McBride, the World Youth Symphony, Garrison Keillor, faculty jazz recitals and are waiting for Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs! Tailgating has become a regular event and we try to bring homeade goodies each time. Screw top wine is also a good choice.
Northern MI is surrounded by talented people from singers to artists and we are lucky to be able to attend so many events.
This weekend the Congregational Summer Assembly (at Crystal since 1901) will perform South Pacific with Ken Cox (a member of CSA) and a world renown basso. We have also attended concerts by a french harpist and a local 15 yr opera singer at CSA. Even their Sunday services are amazing with a 40 voice choir lead by Ken Cox.
Brings back wonderful memories of concerts like when Kenny Rogers, pre-bad facelift, performed when my folks lived directly across the lake. We would also sometimes listen to concerts on the shore, and lived to go over to visit as well.
