My son invited me to the Utah Symphony Orchestra Saturday night in SLC. Two TSM related notes:
First, we parked in a parking terrace across the street from Abrovanel Hall. Its a hotel, I don't recall the name. Nice place. As we entered the elevator my son (29 year old nevermo raised in Utah) told me that the previous month he had ridden that same elevator with TSM and one bodyguard. Just the three of them. They said hello to each other, thats all.
My moment of pride came when he said he didn't recognize him, and that he only figured out who he was when a bunch of groupies surrounded TSM in the lobby after exiting the elevator.
I told him Tommy was probably visiting a widow, but to his credit he had no idea what I meant.
Second item: At the performance the maestro at one point thanked the sponsors, which included TSCC (Surprising) and point toward TSM and Mrs. TSM up in the balconey. Polite applause broke out but it was no more than that given to the other sponsors, and I kinda liked that.
