Rock meets Classic

and it was INTERESTING!
With Ralph Covert of Ralph's World leading the way, the DuPage County Community Orchestra held their annual Holiday Concert in a bit of a different style this year.
The only reason I even know or was in attendance (I don't have any children of my own) was because my husband actually COMPOSED a bunch of the songs that the Orchestra played behind Ralph.  Most of the songs were songs from various Ralph's World albums over the years, but had always just been played by a rock band, with the occasional non-rock instrument thrown in.  Well when Ralph decided that he wanted to perform with an orchestra... he needed someone to write/compose all of the parts.  Hence, my husband got a job.  (which for a composer, is a pretty awesome thing!)
The music was great, the audience was filled parents and kids dancing, and it was just an AMAZING time!
