I used to like to hear The Covered Bridge Harmony Singers - until I had to work with them a couple of times.....I still like SOME of them....but I don't bother to listen to them sing.

Well, these girls did something that made me think they're really nice.  There was a very old woman sitting in the front row with probably her daughters.  As we were about to walk out the door, we heard them singing a special song to her and listening to her reminisce about singing on the radio herself in the 1940s.  They were taking selfies with her, too.

Rainy, foggy and very London-like out there. Which means the driving tonight is treacherous.

DR John G, I’m sorry to hear about your co-worker.  Been there and it’s pretty awful...

Thank you. I hope she's resting OK tonight.

For anyone who's interested, I put up audio samples of six songs - VERY rough mixes that are just so people can hear what they're in store for, songs-wise.  They're not even really mixed, just all the tracks open.

You know what? 

I’m not one who typically listens to song samples to make a decision.  But I just listened to these, and immediately liked the score — and thereby looked forward more to the recording — than when I’d only heard “Opportunity”. 

I hope this factor is a help to those who rely more on sampling the goods before jumping in.

And now, I must be off.  I'm working concessions for the free Messiah sing-along.  I think that concessions is only pre-show, so I won't have to be there for too long.  Normally, I'd stay for the whole thing, but I need to come back to work to finish up some things...not for too long, though.

Be back later.

Yes, concessions was only available during pre-show, but we actually got some business.  The hot cider sold more than I would've expected at all, and we only sold one hot chocolate.  We did sell a goodly number of cookues.  There were a LOT left over, though.  This was the last event until the 29th, but I don't know what they'll do with them.  I don't think they'll keep for that long.

Rebecca and I had a lovely brunch and she really liked the bag of assorted papercrafting goodies that I gave her for her birthday.  We went our separate ways and met up again this evening with our husbands for a free concert by the Queen City Sisters.  Apparently there are about 9 women involved, but they perform as a trio in different combinations.  If you click on their videos and watch the one titled SWAY you'll see the 3 we saw tonight.  It was a great show!

Nice!

Very enjoyable!  Can't wait for the officially released CD!

Vibes for John's coworker

She just texted me that it’s 95 percent likely that she had a miscarriage. I’m heartbroken for her.

Thank you, all, for your vibes and support.

Sending her vibes of comfort.

I left my house, but I didn't have to get on the freeway at all until it was over, and most fortunately, I didn't have to go that far north.

I would certainly not have been down there early enough to have train cars falling on me, but I certainly could have been stuck in the huge backup heading south.
