"Forever if Ever"

There are very few words that can give an accurate depiction of the evening spent at Conner Prairie for the "Concert With A Cause" performance of Jon McLaughlin and the Indianapolis Symphonic Orchestra. ((For those who don't know, Conner Prairie is an outdoor venue.))

Accordingly Clayton, Dad, Grandma, Aunt Juleen and I lucked out with 65 degree weather (especially considering it had been raining nonstop the past few days). We brought our lawn chairs and wine, a baguette, cheese, cherries, and grandma's cookies to enjoy our Saturday evening "dinner". We enjoyed each others' company and then as the sky began to turn varying shades of red, yellow, purple, and blue, Jon McLaughlin's majestic voice filled the air. It continued to do so till the sky was dark and crickets woke up. Seriously though, there were moments during this concert when the crowd was in absolute silence the crickets could be heard.

Jon McLaughlin is hands down my favorite artist-not only is he an Indiana native, but he writes moving lyrics that perfectly accompany his amazing voice.
