Well, I must say, it was filled with naps, movies, studying, and reading.  We also had a new bus driver, Charlie, to take the long drive as we rode from Decatur, Alabama to Raleigh, North Carolina.  Of course, we had fun and discovered many random forms of entertainment, but now it is time to tell you all about Day 4, our last performance day for the tour....

I remember answering that question countless times, and watching a look of "is that all?" cross over many faces as they processed this information.  Now that I am a double major in Music and English, this reaction isn't quite so noticeable, but for some reason, people have this idea that Music is one of those "easy" degrees....
