Chanticleer was wonderful

I saw the singing group Chanticleer this evening at First Presbyterian Church.  They were here as part of this season's music series and I'm sure this will turn out to be the most well attended music program at FPC this year.  Always a treat to see the church so full. Chanticleer is a GRAMMY award winning all male a Capella singing group based in San Francisco. Their 12 members come from all over the US and present an amazing range of sound. They sang an interesting variey of music this evening ranging from "Haec dies" composed in 1572 to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"  After the performance members of the group were waiting to greet us as we walked out. Ihappened to be close to one of the singers on the way out, and said "You were wonderful." to which he responded "I know." A little further on I passed another one of the group and said something about how much I enjoyed the program. He responded "I'm so glad you liked it.  Thank you for coming." Now that was a nice answer.  His mother would be proud of him.
