Members of the Houston Symphony tell us that this weekend they are breaking black dress code to pull on ‘the type of crazy, colorful socks’ that the former president loved to wear.  HW Bush was a frequent patron of the Houston Symphony, lastly with Barbara last December at Handel’s Messiah.

Lovely, impromptu gesture.

    Well done, Houston Symphony Orchestra! What a grand gesture to show your love and honour of a great and fine man! It shows you knew him well! PS Symphony orchestras don’t always have to be dressed in black and stuffy.
