MSO's Jubilee Pops Concert entertained and educated us with a history of music-making in Alabama from 1819 to the present. Ed Bridges provided historical context while conductor Thomas Hinds and the orchestra played "Tuxedo Junction," "Hey, Good-Lookin,'" some selections from Showboat, and a medley of Alabama tunes ending with "My Home's in Alabama."
To the delight of the crowd–and with the help of some brave volunteers on one song–the talented Birmingham Sunlights performed. Patriotic music rounded out the fun evening.
