So I lied...
Apr. 10th, 2011 04:39 pmI may actually make a few posts here that I don't make on LJ. HERE I know exactly who is on and what I can say without (much) fear of pissing people off.
Getting BUSY! I'm now turning down sewing that would be due through mid-June; just too much. Word is a good thing but I don't want to make myself utterly crazy.
I had the first rehearsal (my first, anyway) with the small performing group within KCWC today. Leslie McLean is the director and she utterly rocks. She's the accompanist for the Woman's Chorus and a wonderful one but as director of this, she's also just terrific; builds on what Joe's doing and should be able to take it up a notch with this small group. She put me in as a Second Soprano; surprised me a bit but that's where she needed me and since there's only 2 women on each part, it's pretty critical. She'll also be giving us a CD of warm-ups she wants us to do 10 minutes every day; that is awesome and SO important for keeping voices trim.
This group performs a lot; not only at churches but also at clubs. Should be a lot of fun. She also has the Leslie McLean trio which is fairly well known in the local jazz world; her on piano, her hubby on bass and another guy on drums. It's top notch stuff. And who knows, this might actually eventually get me into singing jazz; something I've wanted to do for a long time. We're working on fun stuff.
Yes, it's gonna make my schedule just nuts but it gets me out there and this is a good thing. Too much of Susi being home alone is not a good thing. So I'll just manage my time better.
