Last night's concert was a first in that the boys did an encore; usually it is the choristers who stand there whilst the Gents surf the US of A, so it was nice to swap boots and feet for a change. Andrew used Copland's Simple Gifts (from earlier in the tour) and John Challenger accompanied with organ pianissimo: it's a simple tune, sung in unison, but adored by the audience. Some of the boys haven't quite got the hang of this autograph thing and one went around the reception, offering to sign people's programmes. For free, I hasten to add. The Gents did four songs in the reception and were rewarded with champagne before being whisked off by their lucky homestay hosts.
