Back out on the street at 11am, waiting for our bus to reach us through the jammed mid-town traffic.

December: Christmas in New York

Our first choice would be a little snow descending gently as we came out of the Met, but clear and crisp is good too. Our second evening in the Medieval Sculpture court was packed with lots of friends, along with several of our Board members.

We warm up before every concert, tonight including some rehearsal for our TODAY show tunes.

Here's Matt Curtis after the sixth concert of his first Christmas tour. It's Ben Jones' first as well. This year we have 25 concerts before Christmas eve - always the real 'welcome to Chanticleer' baptism for new ensemble members.
