You should have heard the Town Hall show then. I don't know who this
string quartet was-- he introduced them by their individual names, but
didn't say who they were-- but they looked to be about high school
age. I was wondering if they were on the entire tour or just the one
stop.
I also got a recordng of a radio show he did a week before. Very
nice; different set list but same songs. No strings.
I certainly didn't think it was boring. In fact it was a very nice
night out for my wife and me (the wife is a big Rouse fan.) I thought
it was minimalist pretty.
