The Gas House Gang

international quartet champions

Hospitality Room

I was judging a contest in CSD.  It was probably just before GHG's fifth album was released. We had just finished the Saturday night evaluations. I was wiped out tired, so I decided to just go to sleep and forego the festivities. Alas, that was not necessarily to be. My room was literally right next to a very popular sounding hospitality room.  I tried to ignore the quartets singing and go to sleep but that was not to be.  Perhaps the fourth quartet in, I was treated to an epic that started off with "We're four short guys................."  Yep!  GHG was unleashing their version of Beethoven's Fifth.

Well, I was so exhilerated by that performance that I got our of bed, got dressed, and went off to party with the rest of the convention!
