The final round of the 10th Indiana International Guitar Competition just happened, here, as well as in the natural world. We saw it in the latter. Amazing performances.
Bloomington is a fabulous small city anyway, but the Jacobs School of Music—and the whole music scene here—puts Bloomington over the top for us. In addition to the guitar competition, we also took in the latest performance of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra today at the Buskirk Chumley Theater.
The first person we met when we came to rent a place in town, back in ’21, was the musician (and much else) Andy Ruff, who quickly became a great friend. Since then we’ve also come to dig his son Hank Ruff, a local country music star whose name shall become household sooner or later. (He’s that good.) I’ve also shot a lot of both. Here’s Andy. Here’s Hank.
