If I were to make a list of all of the benefits of blogging, I wouldn't have put free symphony tickets on the list. However, that's exactly what happened to me. Last night I was given free tickets to attend the world premier of "Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz", a multimedia performance featuring the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Ron McCurdy jazz quartet, and Ice T reading the Langston Hughes poem.
