So the week after the African American History Month concert Susie gave us a rehearsal day off to rest. I suspected it was more for her than for us given the drain that doing concerts on two islands had to have on her but I discovered that wasn’t really the case. I bet I’m not […]

So what’s the deal with this group anyway? I’ve been singing in choirs for XX years (I ain’t saying a number that big) and this one is different. A big pile of different. Yeah, having Susie driving the bus is a big part of it but there’s more to it and I set out to […]

I’ve always been a believer that a blog post that’s simpy a link from somebody else is just lazy. Rules, however, are made to be broken and this one that Susie sent out is an exception. Just plain cool stuff, enjoy. New York Times, Singing Their Way Through Retirement I feel younger already!

So a family member of mine was cruising the blog and mentioned in an email that, although she’d known me most of my life, she’d had no idea I was so bizarre and twisted (I suspect she was fibbing, it’s not like I hide it). I found it difficult (impossible) to disagree. She had also […]

The Blogmeister is on vacation next week so I thought I’d just drop a quick note in here and be back for our regularly scheduled sillines on the 22nd. —– Dear Susie, I was going to rehearse at home last night. Honest. But I couldn’t… I’m sure you understand…

I was telling this story to a friend of mine and he thought it would be great for the blog…so here it is. —– Back in boot camp I was the Recruit Petty Officer in Charge and Conductor 0f the choir segment of a “Triple Threat” Division (choir/band/drill team). Even though there are those who […]
