Got up and had the hotel free breakfast and then headed to the interview. Did the questions and did the demonstration. This time to conduct and rehearse with a choir made of a small group of students. They just built a new fine arts building. I would not mind working there.
I then went to see the St. Paul Cathedral in St. Paul. A big and old cathedral with a large dome and large statues of St. Paul and St. Matthews. There was a mass of good Friday going on so I sat in the back. I heard the choir in the balcony singing a couple of Renaissance pieces. The sound bounced around the cathedral and filled the room. It was an incredible sound.
After mass I went to the Mall of America. It is huge with an amusement park in the center. It is 4 levels and 4 sides. It was not easy trying to avoid eating meat today and for me specifically, chicken while trying to find something to eat at the mall. I did finally find a Thai lace with a Thai spiced salmon. So I got that with fried rice and mixed veggies and watched the roller coaster go by. Oh, I did go to the dollar store in the mall and found . . . a white chocolate bunny. Finally. It is so hard to find them.
After enough walking, I called Jennifer to look on the internet for some fun place to go and the found the Artist Quarter. It is a downstairs music club featuring great musicians. Tonight was the Afro Jazz group. I got a tequila sunrise and found a table. It was a trio with guitar, bass and drums. Each a very good musician and kept the long tunes interesting. The drummer was very good adding tasteful fills. An great evening of music.
