All Things Anne

On Saturday, the boys went fairly early to Grandpa’s church to set up the music stuff, as this was the day of our concert. After setting up, they came back, and a few hours later we all went to the church and did a soundcheck and gave the concert. It turned out pretty badly, really; a lady had a heart attack and passed out (fortunately a relative of ours was there, and she’s an RN, so she gave the lady CPR and revived her before the fire department people took her to the hospital); and we had a technical problem where Dad had too many things plugged into his mixer stuff, so in our earbud monitors, when we were singing we couldn’t hear the guitars, and when we weren’t singing, the guitars were loud! We were all perfectly in tune with each other’s voices, but not with the guitars!

Another picture…
and another!

Afterwards, there was a very nice potluck, though!
