We’re in Philadelphia for the weekend. The reason is wonderful: Philadelphia Bronze has invited us to share a concert with them, so we’re getting share our eight-bell duets with friends who have been online, but who now will be “in real life” friends too!
Today (Friday) is a sightseeing day. We’re going to make the pilgrimage to the Malmark factory, where we’re planning to take a tour to see how they make the bells we play (yes… we know that Schulmerich and Whitechapel also make fine musical instruments!), and will try to spend a bit of time playing some of our music there, perhaps in the parking lot because the factory building makes a great video backdrop? 🙂
We’ve been told more than a few times that we simply *must* have a Philly cheesesteak for lunch. Tim, our rowmate on the plane, said that they’re just not made the right way anywhere else (we’ve heard this nearer home concerning San Francisco sourdough bread…). So we know what’s for lunch!
There’ll be more news to come – if you want to get the first-run news, check at the Larry and Carla site!
