String Quartet Performance

I am updating this far more often then I thought I would...

The performance was awesome. 2 violins, 1 viola, and one cello, four women who have been at this for 20 years. There are people who play music, and then there are people who play music. They were so well in sync with each other that it was hard to tell if anyone was in charge of the tempo. Each of them were deep in the music, though they each expressed it different ways. The violin players moved as much as their bows. The viola player enjoyed a secret smile every once in awhile. The cello player smiled ever-so-rarely. You could see the concentration on all their faces, but it was an enjoyable type. They were in their own little world on stage. And they all looked like they could be somebody's mom... which made me start thinking about stereotypes. It will make me think a bit more when I see your typical, middle-aged woman. You never know, she might be a world-class stringed-instrument player.
