A Couple of Musicals

This month I had the opportunity to see two musicals.  One was "I love you, you're perfect, now change" done by the local community college which was cute and well-done.  Even hubby liked it.

The second was courtesy of a friend who had a ticket she couldn't use.  So today, I traveled the 20+ miles, navigated the closed interstates and dodged through huge crowds to see "Jersey Boys".  I had no idea what the musical would be about -- I like to come in "cold" on these things.  Okay, I'm told it's about a guy named "Frankie Valli" and the "Four Seasons".  I scan through the playbill looking for a song I'd recognize.  Sherri sounds familiar.  Anyway, lights come on and its blasting "rap-style" music.  HUH? Then the story begins, I can now unplug my ears and by the time the climatic "Can't take my eyes off of you" is sung I'm sucked in.  Actually, I do recognize that song from those sappy tunes I listened to as a kid. The book was fun for someone who wasn't part of that generation;  I understand for the rest of the audience it was like travelling back in time.

Encore?

Just got an email from my chamber music teacher wanting to know if the pianist and I could play the Breval again tomorrow.  OH DEAR!  I haven't practiced all week.

Anything Worth Doing is Worth Doing Again

I thought I had completed all my ATC (art trading cards) for the Drawspace Music/Musical Instruments. Then someone noticed I sent them an extra card.

Huh? My word doc decided to erase one recipient and double up on another. Neither I nor my husband who mailed the envelopes noticed the dupe. Happily, I saved the doc so I was able to sleuth who was left out. So created yet another card tonight which I'll mail out next week. Here's all fifteen cards in digital format.

Changing My Mind.

Okay, I re-watched the vid of the Schumann and decided that I'd post it anyway for your amusement or cringing (you have been warned).   

Afterall, this blog is all about not being perfekt! More practice!!!

Trying Too Hard

My 4th pastel work. I think I was trying too hard.
