It's always a treat to hear Steve Shute sing. He has such a beautiful tenor voice, is always on key, and shares his love of music with each note. But it is a true gift when he brings his lovely wife, Jan, and musical friends, Sharon Young and Heidi Rovig, to present a Holiday Concert for us Rotarians!  We were very blessed to enjoy 30 minutes of joyful music with these four fine musicians. 
It was great fun to enjoy the music from these talented voices, as well as to raise our own voices in singing familiar Christmas carols. Steve played his guitar and Heidi provided keyboard support as we all sang with gusto the songs we know well.... at least the first verses, anyway! It's always a treat to find out our favorite carols have a number of additional verses! Steve and his band of musical companions are always so welcome. Steve donned a blond wig and wire-rimmed glasses, apparently a necessity for any John Denver tune!
We are very grateful for their time during the busy holiday season. After the Friday noon concert for Rotary, the four musicians traveled to Aspen for the evening performance of the Aspen Choral Society's traditional Christmas Messiah concert held each year at this time. On Saturday the Society had its concert in Basalt, and on Sunday they sang in Glenwood Springs. This year is the 48th season of Handel's Messiah performed by the Choral Society. What a beautiful tradition. Happy holidays one and all.
