Chautuaqua in Tulsa

It is now Tuesday morning. Soon we will leave for an undisclosed location for a few hours. Once we get back maybe I can say a few words about the experience.

Yesterday, Gail came over and we played piano duets for about two hours. We don't have a gig scheduled at this time. However, talking with Rosemary at church, she said they are looking for more people to participate in the Sunday morning service, now that Gerald is off for the summer. One thing I could do is read a sermon by another Unitarian minister. Sermons are found online at the UUA website. So I might do that.

Today is the beginning of Chautauqua in Tulsa. At Chautauqua, a scholar takes on the role of someone from history and perfroms as if he were that person. We have been to several in the past. It runs for five days, Tuesday thru Saturday. The figures being portrayed this year come from the period around the Civil War. There is Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Harriet Tubman, and two others I don't recall just now. Performances are held on the campus of OSU Tulsa, not far from the Church of the Restoration.
