Putting Socks to Good Use
It’s summer for us, and I’m sure it is for most of my readers… hence, there’s not much use for socks in this sandal weather…
But last night, I could have used every sock in my drawer and put it to very good use. Most of you know I don’t use this blog as a forum for criticism, but what I heard last night must be called out.
As part of a free summer concert series in a park nearby, there was a “choral Broadway” concert. I didn’t really know what that meant, but got a little nervous when I heard the sound check and the male singer was showing off his ability to sing operatically.
What followed was a spectacle… but a spectacle in the worst way. It was despicable! I couldn’t even understand what they were singing! I had to strain to hear ro make anything out, and when I did, it felt like a miracle. I admit, I don’t know every showtune, but I can pick a few out, and I was having one hell of a time last night.
Any respect for these standards was tossed out the window in favor of showboating and mere ego inflation on the part of the “performers”. Those socks I mentioned… I’ll let you imagine where those might have been put to the best use.
