Pictures are worth 10,000 words (not a 1,000!).
Super photos - made me feel like I was there! Wait - I WAS there! How wonderful you got the music recorded to share. I think we need to invest in a camera system that we can set up and just let it record all the time. Actually - we almost had that in place. I think I counted 7 cameras going at one point...
