Over the weekend my TouchPad returned to Symphony Hall in Boston for its second visit in less than a month. No, the TP isn't becoming a classical music fan. The occasion was a Holiday Pops concert by the Boston Pops which my wife and I took in on Saturday afternoon.

Each December since the 1970's, the Pops do a series of concerts featuring traditional and popular songs for the holiday season.

Typically, the program has a special segment... a few years ago it was music from the film The Polar Express accompanied by a reading from the original book on which the movie was based. This year -- see photo above -- the segment was a reading (by Jeremiah Kissel) from Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas with the Pops and conductor Keith Lockhart in support.
Oh, by the way, the TP was not working on this visit to Symphony Hall... the Holiday Pops program notes are not available online.
Do the BSO and Pops have a grinch of their own living in Symphony Hall?
