Good Evening!
What a wonderful recital! Wagner, Massenet, and Puccini were presented with flair and style - as well as with impeccable diction and a magnificent voice. It had been years since I had heard my friend/classmate, Kara, sing, and her growth and progress since then is remarkable. It was also good to hear - and see - my college vocal coach, Melanie, again too. It was another very pleasant way to spend the afternoon. I also caught up briefly with some other former teachers and students too. -Oh, and she sang three wonderful songs by R. Pearson Thomas. I'll have to investigate his writings further. And her encore of Herbert's "Art Is Calling for Me" had a few choice "interpolations".
After the recital, Steve and I headed out and about and hit various stores to pick up various things. Hancock Fabrics, Staples, Home Depot and Target. Then we grabbed dinner at Joe's Inn, and we're currently back at his apartment waiting for the "Sex & The City" finale.
Thus ends the adventures of DR Jose for today... thus far.
-And as I thought would happen, going to the recital this afternoon has re-kindled my classical inkling, and I will most likely find myself in a practice room this week with some Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Ginastera, Chopin, etc.. scores in hand. Always good to keep my fingers "honest".
DR Jenny - Welcome!
DR Jennifer - I think there's a "Product Locator" on Atkins' web-site. Maybe you'll find some favorable search result there. If not, it never hurts to ask the manager of your nearest store to add them to their inventory.
-Back after "Sex & The City".
