Dinner Music. Pre Samba Rio concert.
This musician was talented... and, authentic. She played recognizable classical melodies. As she was playing, I thought about all the work she had put in to get to her current level. I was pleased that she was able, in the context of playing dinner music, to ply her trade. I got up and told her so and put a QE2 in her bottle.

SAMBA RIO, Brazilian rhythms.

Samba Rio adds to a blistering Spring/Summer pace of concerts, excursions and events. Samba Rio concert; concerts in Cody, WY, Mt. Carmel Junction, UT, and virtual Caleb Chapman Sound House; The Duchesne County Fair; and, two days of Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Spring walks with friends and family led to a daily unfolding of discovery in Summit County, UT. ...the Rail Trail, Echo, Rockport, and Chalk Creek.
