Saturday evening at Ravinia was a classic late summer night with yummy food, sitting with friends, and running into all my favorite people.
The evening was titled, “Fondly Do We Hope…Fervently Do We Pray”.

Bill T. Jones wrote, ” Lincoln’s “The Ghost Train”— the spectral procession of folk legend said to be departing Washington every April to follow the route of the Funeral train, yet never arriving in Springfield.”
A few days before this event I interviewed Bill-
In the excerpts Bill talks about the Ghost Train of Lincoln, writing the Libretto, and how musicians, dancers, stage designers, and choreographers collaborate.
