ON this date in 1743 - Handel's Messiah was performed for the first time in London.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in attendance and were very 'moved' by the performance.
When the Hallelujah Chorus began, the Boyz spontaneously stood up.
Since they were in the box next to King George II, the King stood also.
Thus began the tradition of standing whenever one hears the Hallelujah Chorus sung.
THE BOYZ...ALWAYS TRENDSETTERS!!
