This was quartet quarter-finals day. Over 50 of the best quartets in the world, competing to advance to the 20 positions in Thursday's semi-finals. We attended the morning session and listened to 26 quartets in all. Wow!! They were all fantastic. In my humble opinion, Old School, the quartet that we are considering as a guest on our April, 2009 show was a notch above everyone else. I got goosebumps.
When we got back to our temporary home, we headed for the marina where Cap'n Dave keeps his new boat. After removing the covers and other maritime chores, we launched. We motored around Old Hickory Lake for almost two hours. (see video below) What a beautiful spot. The lake is huge and the trees and houses along the shore make great scenery. Talk about a relaxing way to wind down after a busy day. Steamboat Bill's was the next stop, where catfish fillets were enjoyed by all. We stopped by the Meador household for a brief visit and picked up Emerson for an overnight stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Tomorrow, it's back downtown for the big outdoor Grand Opening of the new headquarters building, a mega-sing and in the afternoon, the quartet semis. I'd better get to sleep.

So, you're all set to buy the Mega Hut now, right? Mike and I are looking forward to that.
