Gritty got to hear a live performance of the choral hymn written about him earlier this year by @mormolyke for PhilHarmonia! It is believed to be the first choral work based on a city’s resolution honoring a sports mascot. The backstory: inquirer.com/entertainment/g…
That's a wrap, everyone, I can die happy Many thanks to @FarFarrAway @phillyvictor and @sarahbloomquist/@6abc; their coverage of "A Gritty Resolution" when I wrote it earlier this year was definitely a contributing factor to ONE OF THE MOST SURREAL NIGHTS OF MY FEVER DREAM LIFE
