The Unsung Heros of Public Events

yesterday was amazing and i wish i had a picture to display but the organizers were kind of picky about picture taking. but guess who i got to see perform at the conference center with mo tab........the osmonds!!! yes it was amazing. ther was an orchestra, several conductors and a couple jazz instrument players. so much mormon musical talent in one giant room it could have exploded. i enjoyed the slide shows of pictures from decades that i don't have the mental capacity to fully imagine on my own, the songs of loves past and the wardrobe....oh how i love clothes.

but as i sat there i was slightly (by slightly i mean massively) distracted by the camera men and the little details.

there were several slide shows and graphic displays for the massive screens and i wondered whose job was it to put those together for the free yes i said free event? who picked marie's dresses? who made those dresses? who did the choreography?but even further on the small details performed by people whose names weren't in the program....there was a guy holding a camera that walked across the stage several times to get the great shots for the big screens...but even better...a guy hunched over or on his knees for an hour and a half winding and unwinding the cord for this hand held camera! that was amazing to me partially b/c i'm having a tough time bending over for reasons that will be presented in a later post but partially b/c the show was free! his name wasn't on the program, there aren't any credits (like for movies) where his family can pick out his name next to some random label like "cord holder" or "crawling guy with the cord"or "assistant camera man" . it isn't fair. lets put his name on the big screen with funkadelic colors! or even better lets give him a show or write him a song!
