This will be my last post until after the concert on Monday. Everything is ready to go and I am really excited about it. We have dress rehearsal tonight, and I have a feeling that it will be very good. I am sure that part of this feeling is that the nasty weather seems to …

Countdown: 7, 6 days to go
Last night was a long rehearsal. It was a tough one. By the time everyone got there, they were hot, sweaty, and tired. Everyone was ready for the season to change and settle down. This indecision on Mother Nature’s part puts sensitive people on edge, and by nature, musicians are sensitive. Also in New York …

It appears my post of Friday did not post. Apparently there are also many problems right now with WordPress. The internet has also been very hinky in general. Lots of pages redirected or not there, slowness, etc., and on different computers and systems, so it is not just mine–internet poltergeist, obviously! I’m still suffering from …

I have had a very busy week so far, and going forward, I am afraid will be the same. I have two rehearsals today and I am looking forward to them. However, that means that I have to go to work early in order to be off at the appropriate times. There is still much …

First, let me report that one of the three essentials on my most important “to do” list has been accomplished–I found some jewelry to wear with my dress. Forget about programs, ordering food and wine, etc. First things first! So that task being done, let me move on to this one–introducing the first song in …

So today I have done my civic duty and voted in the special election since I am Weiner’s district. It was truly a United Nations in my polling place–kind of interesting really. Tonight I am going to see a Chamber16 concert and see some friends. That will be a nice relief from my “To Do” …
