Towards the beginning of September we were flipping channels and happened upon a concert on PBS of a group called Straight No Chaser. They are a group of 10 young men from Indiana that sing and preform with no accompaniment. We had never heard of them but were very impressed by their singing and comedic performance. Dennis said he would love to see them in concert so I grabbed my handy dandy laptop that is always close and found their web page and and tour dates. Found out that the only place in Kansas they would be was Salina on Thursday, October 21st. Knowing the concert wouldn't be over until too late to drive back I suggested we take Friday off and spend the night in Salina. He agreed that would be a great idea and I bought the tickets. They preformed in an old theater in downtown Salina that reminds you of the Orpheum in Wichita, if it were finished. The one in Salina is beautiful. The concert was fantastic - the group told the audience to ignore anything the ushers said and take all the picture and videos they wanted to and post them on a blog, Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else we wanted to post. They became a hit because of You Tube so they want the exposure. I have accidentally taken video with my camera but never on purpose so it was not easy to figure out how to do it in the dark but I got a snip of one song. If I had known it would come out so good, I would have taken a longer video. The group also stayed after and gave autographs and visited.
