Ok Pammy, now I am starting to miss you. I like the way you use words and from reading what you wrote I feel like I was there.
"Whatever changes/specifics, it is ultimately and ALL the result of and credit due to the phenomenal/exceptional talent, professionalism, experience, hard work, effort, diligence, passion, and all else put forth by Gordon, the orchestra, crew, staff, and venues for the benefit of all".
I think your words above say it all. They work so hard to give us the very best they can at each concert. We don't see most of what it takes to do each one of these concerts.
Thank you for posting.
