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.
