First of all,
Summer and Fall and SOs were wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed Summer and Fall's concert, complete with huge amounts of musical instrument changes. Even more fun for me was the Harmony Workshop which culminated in choral singing of two pieces. I can sight sing and always jump at the opportunity to do so. When I found out they read music I drafted Summer, Fall, and "Winter" (Eva's husband Rafael) for a couple of songs in my concert. They were very fast learners. Kristoph Klover already knew the tenor parts, so I had a quartet with me for "Winter on My System" and "Gonna Buy Me a Whale." Had I had more time I'd have bought them a copy of "Color Me Beautiful" because they had no idea they had picked out their "seasons" according to that book.
What can I say about
Our Interfilk guest, Carl Thiel amazed me most of all by asking me to join him in his concert for two numbers. I was ecstatic. I'm usually so busy running things there are folks who don't know I can even sing, let alone sing with others, or that I like to! He writes wonderful songs, made "El Kabong" (my spare guitar) sound gorgeous, and I got to help him sound even better by singing harmony with him. W00t!!!
