Moving on to the next one

So Gershwin ended with what I believe was a successful night. Good food, good friends, good music, good times! Although I could not read the crowd at all during the concert, they seemed to enjoy it with comments they gave afterwards. We all had a few slips of memory, but all in all, it was just plain fun. Nothing like Gershwin and his jazz music to let loose and just have fun with!

I was thoroughly disgusted with my hair. Way too poofy! But oh well. Sometimes you just have to take what you get for the day! My skirt, well, had forever creases from months of folding in a box before laying it out several days ago. The wrinkles just wouldn't iron out. But the good thing is, they looked like pleats! :) HA! I think it passed for the night.

The room was packed and it seemed to be a successful night. I enjoyed catching up with old friends and making new ones! The food was fabulous, and after a couple rounds of coffee I actually felt like I woke up for the evening! Course, there is something a bit disturbing about having to be sure that you don't have anything in your teeth prior to singing. And when you do, you have to sit in this formal setting figuring out a way to pick the articles from you teeth without being overly obvious.

After snapping a few pictures, I returned home to power down over a book and snack. I must say, following any performance, it takes me about and hour or two to actually bring myself down. Last night wasn't any different. Around 12:30 a.m. I finally was able to relieve my mind into sleep mode. Redwall contributed greatly to that endeavor.

This morning, I awoke to beautiful sunshine and a brisk walk. Now I turn my focus to the next event: a Sacred Concert on June 7. With Gershwin out of the way, but still running through my mind, I turn my thoughts towards practicing for the next one. Yet one just as special and important as the last. Ah! What joy to sing!
