Ok, time to catch people up on the last two days.
Monday and Tuesday were both teacher in-services at school. I wasn't too excited to go back, but somehow, now I am. I guess that's good.
Monday night, I say a Rufus Wainwright concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. The last time I was there I saw Linda Eder and Burt Bacharach. They remodeled the amphitheater and it's gorgeous up there now. The concert was amazing. First of all, Rufus' sister, Martha, opened for him and she's a great talent. Very witty, very talented. Then Rufus came out and did his latest CD - just him and the piano and some projections. He performed it as a song cycle and asked that no one applaud until he left the stage. I believe the CD is a tribute to his mom who passed away in January. From our seats, we could see him at the keyboard, and he was just amazing. His fingers moved effortlessly over the keyboard, I really can't describe his talent. The second half was just him and a piano again and he played a lot of his songs from his other CD's. It was just an amazing night. Maybe the best concert I have ever been to.
And that brings us up to date.
Tonight is a Sunset Blvd production meeting and I'm really anxious to see what the set designer has planned. Saturday is auditions, which I'm looking forward to. I'm so excited about this show, but that's old news.
