As soon as it arrived in the mail, I hurried it over to the pianist's house. She was on a cruise to the Middle East, and I wanted it to be at her house when she got back. She can sight-read anything, but I did want her to have it. I thought that was the most responsible thing a singer could do for her accompanist.

She didn't live to see 90, so it was in her memory.

Awww. If you can sing in public you must be able to carry a tune, something I cannot do.

I was looking forward to practicing it with her. We wouldn't have had much time to practice, but at least there would be a few days.

Sadly, her husband had a heart attack while they were on their trip. He got excellent care, but they were stuck in Israel for a while.

Laura · « **Reply #95 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:15:06 PM »

Well, it would have to be another day. We didn't have anyone else who could play.

Laura · « **Reply #96 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:16:23 PM »

So I was very surprised when she showed up that morning. They had gotten in very late at night. She came to church just for me that day. We had a chance to practice twice, I think. I hadn't heard the music Elmore had arranged.

I told the pastor I wanted to do it after the morning prayer when everyone was quiet and thoughtful. And I didn't want him to introduce anything or say anything after it was over. I didn't want anything to break the prayerful mood.

Laura · « **Reply #98 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:19:33 PM »

It went well. The music Elmore wrote was so beautiful.

Laura · « **Reply #99 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:19:43 PM »

My, that was quite a story.

Laura · « **Reply #100 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:20:00 PM »

I've never been asked to sing again. So maybe that says something.

Laura · « **Reply #101 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:22:10 PM »

The major thing I learned from my singing class is that singing is way harder than you would think.

Laura · « **Reply #102 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:22:45 PM »

So when I hear excellent singers like the ones BK has on his shows, I always appreciate them.

Laura · « **Reply #103 on:** December 14, 2020, 05:23:54 PM »

That's probably the most I will post all month.

That's sad. Israel is known for their excellent medical care. What I love it that they share their care around the world, including into Palestine when permitted.

DR Laura I do you have a video to share?

If this Christmas sweater doesn't prove the age of the earth, then I don't know what does.

Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing.

Had pasta papa at two o'clock, very good. Just went to Gelson's and got a couple of little snacks.

Also, am close to finishing project two's first go-through, but I'm sure there will be several additions to it as I go through it, so I'm still hoping for Friday. Earlier is fine, too.
