Texas, Part 2

And with Day Four, we arrive at the first full day of the Festival. We are also reminded that a full day of ANY festival means that the late night carousing will be severely cut short, compared to the other days. Everyone now appreciates the benefits of a full night's rest.

So, a jog, two recitals, a lovely catered lunch, a recital. That brings us to a lovely, poignant visit to the local history museum, where there are many photos and other exhibits on Roy Perry and Alexander Boggs Ryan. We also enjoyed an address by Ryan's sister, plus the reading of some heretofore unknown letters between Ryan and Marcel Dupré. A lovely hour, indeed. From there to a gala reception in Ryan's memory, then another recital, and a jam-packed day is complete.

Note: Churches, stop closing your balconies for organ recitals. The best sound tends to be up there, and we'll just go up there anyway. And get your electrical outlets up there fixed. How am I supposed to charge my phone in a balcony where I'm not supposed to be, when the power is not working?
