Cool is a bell ringer. No, I don't mean she volunteers with the Salvation Army at Christmas. She is a longtime member of an outstanding hand bell choir, and on Sunday both j and I attended their concluding concert of the season. The audience was treated to several numbers each by three levels of bell choirs, and a guest organist played four classical selections on our church's spectacular pipe organ. This concert exceeded my expectations of what I knew would be an entertaining and enjoyable event. I admire Cool's dedication to her skill with this group and to the group itself. She is a joy to watch when she is performing. The musical selections were, as usual, varied, and the capper this year had to be "Stairway to Heaven." Yes, THE "Stairway to Heaven"! I don't know what Robert Plant would have thought, but I was blown away by it. And the closing piece, "Hallelujah," thrilled me on several levels. It was a fitting ending to an afternoon concert that had me enthralled. It was definitely a cool Cool concert.
