HOORAY! It's December....oh wait...

Tired Caroline is tired.

'Tis December 1st - LET THE GAMES BEGIN! From now until some point during Christmas Day, many of us as musicians are booked every day, at least once and maybe several times for special events. When we’re not performing, we are rehearsing for all those extra holiday performances. Think also of clergy preparing multiple services, folks who work in retail, anyone who is “a public servant", basically anyone working while it's "vacation" time. There are so many people for whom I am very thankful! Everyone take care of yourselves and HANG IN THERE! 

Remember to be there for each other when the stress points of the season rise up! Thank a musician, thank a teacher, thank a Fed-Ex deliverer, thank a fireman! Prepare for late-night grading posts, even MORE coffee posts, the "I wish I had sleep" posts, and those ever-popular "laundry list of to-do" posts smile emoticon
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY and HERE WE GO!!! CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!!

Choir of St. Paul's Episcopal, New Orleans Sings for St. Bernard Project Event: Nun's Build

My wonderful, sweet choir at St. Paul's Episcopal did SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB last night singing at a St. Bernard Project community event held at the Knights of Columbus Hall. The event was a thank you dinner for Nun's Build for their week of disaster recovery construction work in New Orleans. Nuns Build is comprised of dedicated sisters and non-Nun friends from across the US. I'm so proud of this wonderful, dedicated, and super-talented choir! GREAT WORK, ALL! Thanks to a former choir member, working for the St. Bernard Project, for inviting us!

We sang: I'm Gonna Rise by Paul Marsena, Away in a Manger (both the William Kirkpatrick and Norman traditional tunes), and Andrae Crouch's Soon and Very Soon - all some of our "lighter" repertoire :-)
