I was walking up Sixth Avenue with my mom today, when 65 college students emerged from the subway dressed in formal wear, carrying sheet music. I asked where they were going. St. Patrick’s Cathedral, they said. They were the Miami (Ohio) University choir. What are you singing? Spirituals and Renaissance music. What else were we to do but follow along and listen?
Especially because we were still woozy from our encounter with the Naked Cowboy.

I can just imagine the conversation….
Meg: Excuse me, may I take your picture please?
Naked Cowboy: Hey, go wild, lady.
Meg: You don’t mind if I post it on my blog, do you?
NC: Heck no. What do you blog about?
Meg: Oh, weird news, spy shops, bad sex writing, abducted garden gnomes, grammar, my no-holds-barred crime thrillers, the drinking game. You know, the usual blog stuff.
NC: Hold on there, lady–grammar!!?

That choir is from my favourite post-secondary institution, because of it’s name and location: Miami University, Oxford Ohio.
How was the concert?

The concert was excellent. Renaissance sacred songs, an Indian multi-modal/multi-rhythmic piece, some settings of poetry by Garcia Lorca and Octavio Paz, and spirituals. They finished with “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho” and really rocked the place.
Susan: me, go wild with Mr. N.C.? There were tourists from Iowa waiting to push me aside so they could pose with him.
