An afternoon at The Paramount




This evening we had a great time at Charlottesville's beautiful Paramount Theatre. We went to the 21st reunion concert of SGGL, a four man accoustic band that formed at UVA during the 1980's. SGGL stands for Speidel, Goodrich, Goggin and Lille, which are the last names of the singers. Despite the unfortunate weather [whose bark was ultimately worse than its bite], a good time was had by all who attended.

We had some special connections to the event that made it particularly fun for us. First, it was a concert to benefit Young Life of Charlottesville. Young Life is an international ministry to high school students that we volunteer with here in town.

In addition we have a personal connection to the band. Tom Goodrich, one of the singers, is not only our pastor at Meadows Presbyterian but he also married us in 2005. In fact there was a special dedication to us at the concert as they sang their original song 'Let your love (bring me home again),' which Tom sang as our first dance as a married couple.

With both sets of parents in attendance plus many Cville friends, this was one of those great and special evenings we'll not soon forget.
