Wonderful you could meet with friends - it's so much nicer to share such impressions. Thanks again for sharing with us. "Lincoln through the Arts" sounds most interesting (just "Dixie" I personally find a tune for a birthday celebration/party rather than for a death commemoration).

Eva, it was an evening to celebrate his life.

Angela, I am very sorry for my comment on something I haven't witnessed and just wanted to delete it. Thanks for this point of view, I just couldn't combine the happy, lively tune with the sad occasion, but this explanation certainly makes sense, especially as it sounded somber (thus respectful to the occasion). Sorry and thanks again! Enjoy the rest of your stay!
