Tea and Symphony

Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150, ESV)
The Memphis Symphony was playing in God's sanctuary at the Dixon Gallery and Garden's Saturday night. (5/10) "Symphony in the Gardens," a bi-annual favorite of mine.
Trumpets and strings and brass and cymbals. Even couples spontaneously dancing, when the MSO Big Band took to the stage playing historic musical scores originally performed and broadcast live by CBS radio from the Peabody Hotel's Skyway ballroom.
.It was all there---even tea. Hot tea at the fancy table set-up, Long Island Iced "Tea-type" drinks at other tables. And hones-TEA at mine, thanks to friend Carolyn F.

Tea and Symphony made for a beautiful evening with friends, under God's sky.
A shout out of thanks to sponsors, Dominion Partners and Brian Kinney!
