Luck of the Draw

Most every day I listen to Colorado Public Radio at home or in the car, and enjoy it simply for the blessing of good music with wonderful variety. Occasionally, though, there is an added perk for regular listening. Last Thursday a ticket give-away was announced for the closing concert of the 2011 season of the Colorado Musical Festival at Chautauqua. I figured that I had as good a chance as anyone, and called in. About 15 minutes later, the station called me back and I had two free tickets to the Friday night show! This was quite a fun splurge for us, as the tickets were worth $42 a piece.

The Festival Finale featured a group called Time for Three (Tf3), a trio of musicians (two violinists, one double bass) all graduates of Philadelphia's Curtis Institute of Music. They are an unexpected mix of laid-back, amazingly talented, crazy, classical, blue-grass, jazz, and country styles in an over-the-top energized jam session. If you have 9 minutes and twenty one seconds to spare, I highly recommend giving a listen to their piece "Wyoming 307". We loved the show!

Congratulations! We won something from the radio once and it was a very weird to hear my voice coming over the airwaves.
