bad burglar alarm

So, I did decide to go to the organ recital inside Salisbury Cathedral. It was masterful, and you couldn’t ask for a better setting. I did find it slightly unnerving that I was far and away the youngest person in attendance out of the 100 or so who were there. (Am I already so mentally aged that I gravitate toward “old people stuff” rather than what I ought to be doing with my peer group on a Wednesday night?) But that was a small price to pay for nearly an hour of outstanding musicianship by one Daniel Cook.

And then… the freakin’ burglar alarm went off! And it was a loud one, without question a concert-ending alarm. And the concert did end. Since there were only 10 minutes or so left, no one complained, but it was a disappointing note on which to end a recital.
