I caught this one on Friday with my special lady, Meghan. Â
Â
What an opener: four classical acoustics playing “Lady Madonna,” “Julia,” and “Yesterday.” Â In a row! Then right into “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. Â Good way to soften a crowd before launching into Turlough O’Carolan and J.S. Bach. Â David Kelly nailed David Gilmour’s solos on “Numb,” which is no small feat on nylon strings. Â 
Â
A few photographers snooped around snapping pics, but they were all gone by the third song. Â Meghan got sleepy, so we ducked out at intermission–I think the cushy seats in the recital hall did her in.
Â
P.S. Â If you are an SOU student and you don’t attend recitals, you are crazy. Â They’re FREE for you and they’re good! Â Everyone else had to pay $8 on Friday! Â I just flashed my student ID. Â Nice.
