Catching Saturday Night Fever

I'm now preparing for the second of the week's highlights: the Saturday night dinner/dance of the Navy Musicians Association reunion. Last night's concert was tremendous, but still, it was "us" playing for "us."

We're our own greatest audience. which is just as it should be. We're not out to impress anyone. We're not auditioning for a gig. We're sharing our bonds of service and camaraderie the best way we know how: through music.

But tonight will be different. The U.S. Navy Fleet Forces Band (formerly known as the CINCLANT band) is scheduled to perform for us. We've heard these men and women play before, so we know what to expect: excellence.

They deliver it every time. But it still astounds.
