The New York Philharmonic played a free concert in Central Park, and over 60,000 New Yorkers packed the grounds to hear the Sousa marches and watch the fireworks at the end of the show. Thankfully my friends arrived early and got a patch of grass very close to the stage. As the concert began and the blue skies darkened to night, I turned around to look at the enormous crowd behind us...and I was as equally awed by the beautiful backdrop of the city buildings literally glowing in the darkening summer night. Why in the heck were we watching faceless musicians on a boring stage when this gorgeous scenery was shimmering at our backs?
