I did get to sit in the audience of the City Band Wednesday night. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be at the bandstand or at its alternate venue. Before finding that out, I decided to locate the place of my Thursday afternoon voice lesson which was easier to locate than the directions […]

It seems we have been inundated with storms, storms, and more storms for the beginning weeks of the summer. Our little area has been relatively lucky… UNTIL Wednesday night. I was fortunate enough to get off work in time to go the the City Band concert (more in that later). I got home around 9:15.
While everyone else dispersed to the various ballgames for the evening (a niece and a nephew actually played against each other on the t-ball field while another was in a neighboring community), I took my 5 year old niece to Story Hour at the library. I had taken Syd to the first gathering a few
Today being Father’s Day, the family took the three dads to dinner. Then… two of my siblings and I took a horde of crazies to see Toy Story 3! Definitely worth seeing although not sure the 3D was worth it… not much there that would not have been just as enjoyable on a decent 2D

Filming just wrapped on the finale to the Harry Potter film series and as can be expected, there was a sense of sadness over the cast. I would imagine that young adults especially who have

In preparation for what I hope is my next stage performance, I was informed that the role had to have a full beard…. the “handsome” part? Well… the say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. More than a few summers ago, I was cast as Motel in Fiddler on the Roof. Of course,
Tonight, we honor the toast of Broadway. I will just touch on some of the highlights. In the much coveted Best Musical we have Green Day’s American Idiot, Fela!, Memphis, and Million Dollar Quartet. Best Musical Revival nods go to… Finian’s Rainbow, La Cage aux Folles, A Little Night Music, and Ragtime.I think both catergories
