One of th

I just spent five minutes trying to figure out how to add a post to my site. And the sad thing is … I’m not entirely sure why I’m bothering.
Yesterday was Church Music Sunday in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. If anybody happens to read this post, and knows why this ego trip was instituted, I’d like to know the reason.

And then we arrange the rest of our singing life around what else is happening. I know I’m not the only choir director who never knows how many singers she’ll have on any given Sunday because, you know, “My family is visiting.” Or, “My granddaughter’s soccer team is playing, and I have to go see her.” Or, “We’re going to Disney World.”
