I'm back. I work full time now, so my schedule's not as flexible, but if you live here, I do want to see you, so give me a ring if you so desire ( Read more... )

DEFINITELY no Donna De Lory on Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour. Which means that she must need a soprano. Gee, who do I know that sings soprano? Hmm. . . I know this short blond girl who is currently studying voice and can hit some pretty astronomical notes. Maybe Madonna should hire her!

So, I don't think that Donna De Lory is touring with Madonna this time around. Which is kind of depressing after 20 years. But hey, if she's working on her own music, that's awesome too. And, I mean, 20 years is a really long time. Plus, I go to a Madonna concert to see Madonna. So, I'm still going to try for floor seats. I realized that I should ( Read more... )

I'm so excited, I can't wait ( Read more... )

This week's quote comes from Lauren's recital. She was singing classical pieces that depict the six days of creation, and on the day where G-d created the fish, she sang a German song called "The Trout." Tali spoke in between each set to tell us about the pieces ( Read more... )

Okay, I'll admit it: I'm jealous of people who are better than I am. Of course, I'm referring to musical/vocal talent.

My jaw dropped open when I read my e-mails last night. It looks like I will receive enough money that I can go to Hava Nashira without having to spend two month's pay. Woohoo!

My second-to-worst fear just came true. About that cold. . . well, I'm singing at services tomorrow night. And obviously I'm not going to let a silly cold stop me. Except then Alison e-mailed me and said she wants us to do Wassilkowski's Hashkiveinu. Blah. I was hoping she'd have me do something easy and range-less like Debbie's Ahavat Olam. Oh ( Read more... )

I have been so bad about going to the gym these past few months. I'm sure I've gained 20lbs. I was going to go today, but those darn elementary school kids who don't wash their hands got me sick again, so I decided to take it easy ( Read more... )
