Hear the Crik

Coasting on Youtube for the moment and came upon some reminiscent recording footage of Nickel Creek's last tour. Hearing their version Jackson Five's "I Want You Back" took me back to the upper balcony in Madison with my sister and lifelong friend, Alicia. On that continuation of Old Man Winter's frigid temper rolling through the encircling streets of downtown Madison, Alicia and I welcomed our trifled find of a common cup of coffee next to the Overture's elegantly bulwarked halls. Ensconsed in warm lighting tones and high cielings, we eagerly anticipated the final round of Nickel Creek's whimisical musical relay of our favorite tunes backed with subtle humourous squabbles from the band toward the audience. High above the stage's forefront trapsing upon the cusp of a direct swan dive drop, the acoustics bellowed in sweet harmony around our ears. Despite the distance, we heard the greatest sound quality in this place. To add to our sincerest hype, Sarah waved to us like the Senators in Star Wars. Our inner nerdiness welcomed the attention and reference. We were home.
