Thanks for posting this. I'd thought you were taking a break from the chorus. It sounds like a wonderful evening, and a great benefit! Hope you raise lots of dough.

I did take a break from the chorus for the fall, and consequently experienced a greater sense of isolation. Last night was the first rehearsal for the new season. My feelings are divided about going back, but I believe it's the best thing for me.

This concert was, of course, organized on the spur of the moment. We will be performing a couple old songs that I already know plus a couple new ones that I don't.
