Dinner and a Show

We loved NBC's The Sing-Off last fall, it was a reality competition show that featured a cappella artists; our favorite, by far, was this group of five guys from Minnesota who call themselves "Home Free", they just happened to end up the series' winner.  I downloaded their first CD as soon as it was released. Their trademark tight harmonies and terrific arrangements are easy to listen to, believe me... I listen to them a LOT!  A few months ago my husband and I learned that they were going to be in concert last evening approximately 100 miles away, we purchased our tickets and patiently waited. We left early enough to eat dinner along the way beforehand; stopping at a fabulous Italian restaurant not too far from the theater. It's been a very long time since we've had a "dinner and a show" date! I could go on and on about how wonderful the concert was; we had great front row seats in the first balcony, coincidentally very close to friends from the local ski club (they, too, have been following these guys ever since "The Sing Off") but, instead, I'm going to link here to a video that will give you just a taste of what we experienced. After all these years (we had our first "dinner and a show" date when we were in high school, in 1970; then it was a sandwich and a milkshake before the Beatles' movie "Let It Be") it's a true blessing to still be sitting beside the same guy and enjoying each others' company on a fun evening out together.
Life is Good!
...and oh, so harmonious...

Thank you for that link. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing that again! We love that show and Home Free was who we rooted for, as well, but I have since lost track of them.
Lucky, Lucky you to see them in concert, with your favorite guy!
