Favorite rock n'n roll moment

[bibi <fairybiz>]

... Was at Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. Carnegie Hall
had been the venue of my father's band, the River City Brass Band. He was
the director, the founder, and the conductor. I spent many proud evenings in
the audience, watching my father conduct the band that he worked so hard
for, that he loved so dearly. He passed away in December 1994 (although the
Band lives on).
Moving forward ten years - December 9, 2004, 10 years and 6 days after my
dad's passing. Patti's doing a fundraiser for a local Pittsburgh radio
station at Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh. She's standing RIGHT WHERE my dad
used to raise his baton, singing "Mother Rose." I've brought my 10 year old
daughter and my husband. We watch, transfixed (our upteenth Patti concert,
Willa's first).... As if that weren't enough, we had tickets to join the
post-concert reception. There my daughter introduced herself to Patti and
received a birthday present: a long black shoestring that Patti pulled out
of her jacket pocket - it's not much, but it's been all over the world with
me.... What a night.
