I am attending the first "broadwaycon, " a 3-day celebration of Broadway. I have to wonder why they picked January for this event, considering the potential for bad weather.
DR Jane recently asked about my eyes.I can now read fine without glasses (needed reading glasses before), as well as do things around the apartment. I need glasses to drive, though, which was the plan. As for the side effects of the surgery, I'd say that the headaches are slowly diminishing, but the other side effects remain, although minor.
Would you eat here??
So an audition that I referred to cryptically back in November has come to fruition. I am a founding member of the 45-voice American Public Media Radio Choir. Our debut is at Orchestra Hall this Saturday. We are performing a work called "Seven Psalms," a setting of 7 Psalms from the Bible for tenor soloist, choir, and jazz quartet. Plus some very intricate settings of songs by Sia and Dave Matthews. The whole reason for being of this choir is to get people singing and to engage folks in singing. So while we'll do occasional performances, the bulk of our activity will be events like singing in schools and prisons and organizing community sings. It's a great group of talented folks, and I am thrilled to be a part of something new and full of exciting energy.

Would your choir be interested in some choral music I wrote?

They stand in the way when we're trying to sweep the house of all of the popcorn and programs and ticket stubs and candy wrappers that they've thrown on the floor....The show is over.....go someplace else us to talk. THEN they stand outside by their cars talking and talking....and of course we can't leave the property while people are still there.....so we wait and wait and wait..... Hmmm, DR TCB. I guess we should be brief after the show

Finally finished the last chapter. I found a nice way to end it - something came to me in the shower, which is why I took the shower. And now I've begun the addendum. It probably won't be more than three to five pages long and this book in manuscript form will probably come in at 240 pages, twenty pages less than the Hofstetter books, yet with more words. Mushing on.
Greetings... Anniversary wishes to Ginny!
Rehearsal went well tonight.
One of the ladies in our cast returned from the land of the flu last night, but she actually had most of her voice back tonight.Interesting tidbit: Her doctor told her that her strain of flu was not included in this year's vaccine.
