Heavy duty "music" week this week. I'm leaving shortly for a rehearsal for the theater group I'll be performing with this fall (this is the group that will be touring schools in the area with a musical based on Aesop's Fables.) Tomorrow is rehearsal for a concert I'll be playing for on Friday night as part of a combo backing up Jaime Cortez, who wrote the song "Rain Down"; he's coming for a liturgical musician's workshop on Saturday and will be performing several of his compositions in concert Friday night.
Also: will be arranging to take some organ lessons! I don't think I mentioned this here but I auditioned a couple of weeks ago for an organ scholarship which our Diocese gives out every year; actually they pick several people each year to receive a year of organ lessons, with an option for a second year. This year there were six people auditiong and two of us won scholarships. So I can finally learn the RIGHT way to play the organ.:)
ohio! Whew, you wore me out there just reading about the move arrangements! Oh my back!!
But the apt sounds lovely!!!
Yes, nice words to hear from a grown up child. We heard something similar from Son # 1 last Christmas.
ML - Congratulations on the organ scholarship. Those lessons will surely enrich and enhance your already-wonderful playing, I'm sure.!!
And daughter who is about to set off?? How is she? All accomplished on the visa business?
And BTW, how is your Mom?
I got a call from one of my singing friends. She asked me to be on the audition committee for the group, and we have one scheduled for early Sept. First we'll audition our victim potential member, then we'll go out to eat! Yippee!!
Gots to go...
Will post some music titles later for y'lls edification and enjoyment.
Congratulations on your scholarship, ML!! Something tells me that your winning it means that you already know the right way to play the organ.........besides, us Conservatives always do things the right way! :o)
How many lessons do you get?
