Well, you've read the notes, the notes were rehearsed twice, and now it is time for you to post until the rehearsed twice cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TENACIOUS!

The sad news keeps coming. First Gordon Goodwin, he of the Big Phat Band and a tremendous force in jazz education, died of pancreatic cancer. Now Jubilant Sykes, a baritone who sang the Celebrant wonderfully in Marin Alsop's recording of the Bernstein Mass, has been stabbed to death. RIP to both of them.

Sad news about Jubilant Sykes.

I slept well until midnight. I spent the next five hours dealing with three chilled kitties and a horrible round of neuropathy in my feet and ankles. Last night Stella finally decided that her Amazon carton was not keeping her warm, and she spent a good amount of time cuddled up next to me.

I have a cart of trash and recyclables to go to the basement. When my daily tidy-up is over, I need to create an Amazon Fresh order.

14 more shopping days!
This is from Moonshine & Mistletoe, the holiday musical I wrote with DJ Salisbury. I think it was the 2010 New York City Gay Men's Chorus holiday concert that the Chorus sang my suite of Appalachian Carols I had written around 1984 for my father, who was born in Fallsburg KY, just outside the county seat, Louisa, KY. Several months after the 2010 concert, DJ Salisbury, a stage director who grew up in Louisa, KY, called me out of the blue. He thought there might be a show in the Appalachian Carols. I wasn't so sure, but I loved working with DJ, and I'm very proud of our show.

Only three of the five carols in the suite made it into the show. This is one of them. Happy Holidays!
