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.

It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

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.
