On Sept. 18, Mandy and I had the absolute pleasure of spending the evening with The Dave Brubeck Quartet, at Abravanel Hall, for the old boy's last show here in Utah, compliments of Mandy's boss (and when you see the cost on the ticket, you'll see why that was important). First off, that man is phenomenal! Even at 84 (or eighty something) he was awesome. The other guys in his band were fantastic as well. Mandy and I both had one of the nicest nights out we've had in a long time thanks to Mr. Brubeck. And to top it all off, our company was actually the main sponsor of the show.Now, besides the music, what a night!! The average age of the first 10 rows had to be about 106. The poor old lady one row back and three seats over vomited all over herself during the first song and directly behind me was a lady on oxygen. That's right... pssssst (pause 15 seconds) psssssst (pause 15 seconds) ad infinitum for the entire show. However, there were a few of the more upbeat songs where her and her machine were actually on beat, so that wasn't bad. Until next time....
