The Hil Street Journal

Last night, Ryan and I attended an historical instrument trio baroque concert. It was lots of fun. We saw a voice flute, harpsichord and viola de gamba. According to Wikipedia (which is always correct!), “The viol (also called viola da gamba) is any one of a family of bowed, fretted stringed musical instruments developed in the 1400s and used primarily in the Renaissance and Baroque periods.”

The performance was so impressive, the audience clapped until an encore ensued. The majority of the crowd was much more qualified to be there then we were! The guy next to us followed along with his own Bach sheet music. It was interesting to watch even though I don't have my masters in Music History like Jonny G. :)

Although, interestingly enough ... as we were leaving we saw a bumper sticker that simply said, "7th and James." Interesting ...
