Maybe...

I started Annie yesterday and must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the talent that was chosen for this production. Not being able to be at the auditions caused me some dismay as to how the performs would sing but never fear three of the leads so far are very talented. I meant to start a vlog the other day but was so stressed about it I couldn't focus.

I have been away from my computer for a while and not in the mood to blog but I am back. It might have something to do with the fact that I watched "Julie & Julia" last night or it could be that I want to write. I wonder what kind of a countdown I could do. The Great Operas, an Analytical Approach to the Masters; Broadway Musicals of the 1940's; Listen to my entire musical collection and write about my favorite moments on each recording. The possibilities are endless. So readers, all 5 of you, what would you think is interesting? Besides my daily activities.

Oh, I visited my good friend Ms. Darbus downtown the other day. She is jumping head first into her new job, changing the world! I look forward to getting to sit down and visit with her. Such an optimist and so much fun to listen to her life stories. We always have so much fun gabbing and laughing.

Currently looking for a job...know of any available?

I am going to go transpose "Tomorrow" down a half step to match the performance track orchestrations. Luckily my computer can do that for me without too much fuss!

What to do, what to do?

Last week I finished up my run as Grumio in "Babes in Toyland, Barnaby's Story" by Mark Norwood. I was a lot of fun and really great to work with the author on this production. It will be another 6 months before I have the opportunity to work with this company again.

My next job, Music Director for "Annie". Rehearsals begin in a few weeks but principle music rehearsals begin next week (or as soon as I get schedules out) and it will be exciting.

My truly awesome sister bought me a Flip video camera for Christmas. Soon I will be adding video to the blog! Which will make it easier for me to update this blog. Look forward to some amazing rehearsal footage!
