Last night I went to a music performance near my house at one of the churches. It was billed as "Jazz with a big organ and saxophone - negro and other spirituals and improvisations." Sounds cool, right? Well, the first part, this black woman with dreads, playing the organ with barefeet was very cool. Especially when she sang. However, for some reason the organ was really quiet.
Then the next part, a saxophonist with a different organist. It sounded as though they couldn't hear each other and after their "experimentation" I felt like I couldn't hear - or never wanted to hear again - after that. It easily could have been entitled "Improvisational Anarchy" or "Chaos Theory Explored." Definitely not spiritual. And ironically the organ was incredibly loud!
So, that was my sister's first night. "Welcome to Moscow!"
Nate and Vero left Tuesday :( Go read Nate's write up about his trip to Moscow.

The organ was really quite... what?!
Oh, you mean the organ was really QUIET. I see.
I guess you just never know what you're going to hear when you show up for negro spirituals in Moscow.
