More concerts on Sunday. The boys performed at the Australian Music Educators Conference here in Perth. There was some concern about the lunchtime time slot as we heard only 20 people showed up the day before for a concert.

So in anticipation we had the boys rehearse in the lobby trying to drum up business. It worked, but so did the rumor that was spread around that the boys were not to be missed. The house was packed in the auditorium and the concert ran over 20 minutes. One of the members of audience was so taken with the boys that she stayed for the entire concert and was late for the symposium she was facilitating.

Later in the day there was a concert at the Perth Concert Hall. There were over 1400 people in attendance. Almost a full house. Again we heard that several participants at the conference skipped their last two meetings to attend the concert.

Today the boys performed at the Winter Arts Festival in downtown Perth during lunch. The crowd grew as the boys sang. In attendance was the Lord Mayor and several other dignitaries. We were then invited to a private reception in the Lord Mayor's office where the boys sang again for the Mayor.

I must tell you that view from the Mayor's office was simply breathtaking. It looks down on the Swan River and out across the city. Simply breathtaking.

Perth is called the city of lights because when John Glenn flew over Perth the entire city turned on all of the lights.

We continue to be overwhelmed by the warmth and generosity of the Australian people. Barry and I have been lucky enough to have a homestay in Perth. Our host family is delightful and I am sure we will be in touch with them long after we leave.

Heading home from dinner from our hosts home and it is on to Adelaide tomorrow.
