An Important Date in History

Not your history! Mine! ;)

A year ago today, four people met in a kitchen, unsure of how to get things started. They knew what they wanted, but didn’t really know how they were going to do it. They had no backup, and only a few sheets of paper to go by. It was a rocky [...]

6 Word Saturday

J-B solo-ing tonight for our concert!

J-B is doing a great solo bit in a song we’re doing in our final concert of the 2009-2010 season (the big group, not Main Street!) He sounds great! Break a leg tonight, J-B!

P.S. 6WS visitors – thanks for stopping by! I will return the visit, but can only leave [...]

Yeah, I got nothin’.

I had something I wanted to post about, but got sidetracked before I was able to make a note about it, and now… well, it’s gone. It was a pretty nifty subject too. I think. I need to keep a notebook with me. *sigh*

The party I put together for our larger group Saturday night was such [...]

Photo Shoot

Yesterday my group spent a couple hours with fabulous photographer Leah Kirin, getting some professional shots to use for our website and promotional material.

What fun we had!! Leah is a hoot to work with, and she really had some great ideas.

Here are a few shots that she previewed for us late last night (boy [...]

Sneak peek, and Weekend Funnies

For the next installment on my “An Interview With…” series, I’m featuring a very very special… Group. Look for that on Sunday, March 21st. This interview will reveal a few things about me in their words… ACK, and about these 3 very special people in my life.

I am very excited about this interview, and even [...]

For JennyMac, et al

Not quite a month ago, I wrote about something going a bit awry with our larger choral group. One of the Basses had decided to pull something rather nasty, which caused quite an uproar. (Things are better now, and we’re working on new material for our June concert.)

When I mentioned that they’d be singing Unchained [...]

Fight fire with fire

Something unsavory has been going on in our larger choral group that we sing with lately.

We are a great group of about 55 voices. Strangely enough, out of that nice number, only 5 are tenors (including John-Boy), and out of that 5, only 4 are men (um, also including J-B!). That leaves, of course, one [...]

Recording Studio tracks to share!

Yesterday I shared a song that we recorded at our first Studio session last week. I have to tell you, that night was one of the best ever. Definitely an item that we could all cross off of our collective bucket list! ShaMoo, Knarf, John-Boy and I sang our hearts out and had a wonderful time. [...]

Wee One is a ROCK STAR!

Wee One is my quiet, introspective child. Truth be told, she has a shyness issue, and new people and situations scare the bejeebers out of her. We’re working on it, and she has come a long way since last year.

But at home where it’s safe… my quiet child becomes a ROCK STAR!

A couple [...]

I’m an addict

My name is Jenn, and… I’m an addict. It’s pretty serious. Not quite sure what to do.

I mean… the fact that it’s going to be another several days before the group gets together to rehearse again is making me positively weak with frustration!

What’s wrong with me? Surely I have a life, and can fill my time [...]

…Out my back door

This is what it’s doing here today… *sigh*… but wait!

My back yard… and my group! This is a rehearsal recording (meaning I stuck a cheap recorder in front of one speaker while we were rehearsing) of ShaMoo, myself, and 2 of our closest friends singing “Let it Snow”.

Our first major concert as a quartet is [...]

Silly Haiku Wednesday

Yeah I’m an idiot – forgot to get a new Mr. Linky for today’s post. Sorry folks! Fixed, and I’ll fill in those of you who submitted today so far.

Happiness. I has it.

Yeah, I know… I was channeling the Icanhascheezburger cat.

There are things in this life that make me happy.

My gorgeous daughters. My wonderful husband of 18+ years. (Some) family, and of course, my fabulous friends. Certainly all of those things and more make me happy.

But singing… singing fulfills me in ways unlike anything else. I [...]

It’s been a week – get over it.

Still an enormous amount of mourning going on over Michael Jackson.

Tribute websites and Facebook groups popping up. Constant news coverage, the likes of which we have not seen since 9/11 (understand here and now that I am not comparing the two events in any way), extolling his virtues. Mourning the loss of a legend. People [...]

A new Quartet, and a Contest!

ShaMoo and I performed in a concert last night with the group we sing with. The music for this concert was everything we hoped it would be, and the audience was very appreciative. I came away euphoric, and bone weary! I love the energy that goes into our performances.

This coming week ShaMoo and I are excited [...]
