The Vocal Arts Ensemble will present a concert of mainly French music
on Saturday, Oct. 21, at 8 PM. The venue is Temple Beth Emeth/St.
Clare's Episcopal Church at 2309 Packard. Admission is $15, $10 for
seniors and students. We're calling this concert "C'est la VAE!" Yes,
we realize this conflicts with the first game of the World Series, but
it's worth it!
We'll be singing choral works by Poulenc, Hindemith, Villette, Debussy,
Massenet and a couple of others. There will also be several solo
songs, including Cole Porter's "I Love Paris." I will be singing a
very sexy cabaret song by Erik Satie, "Je te veux."

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his
hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an
idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing.

Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

(That last sounds like something from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate

Khayyam"

I'll be playing piano at the annual West Coast Ragtime Festival in
Sacramento, California. The festival runs from Friday, November 17
through Sunday, November 19. It's one of the largest ragtime festivals
in the world, with well over 40 performers participating this year.
Details can be found at <http://www.westcoastragtime.com/06wcrf-home.htm>.
If you're in that part of the world and enjoy old-time (and
contemporary) music of the syncopated variety, drop by and check it out.

This evening, I went to see my nephew in the musical "Aida". I was impressed
with how well he did. The other actors and actresses, too.

When you say "the musical 'Aida'" is that the well know opera, or some
other musical based on the story?

There's a new musical. Somebody decided that Verdi hadn't done a
good enough job on the first version. :)

This version is based on the opera that's based on the story... Elton John
composed the music, [Tom?] Rice wrote the lyrics.

This is me reporting live from the West Coast Ragtime Festival in
Sacramento, California. Did one set so far today, with washboardist
extraordinaire Kitty Wilson. Another solo set this evening, another
tomorrow, last one on Sunday. Plus scads of fine musicians to listen to
when I'm not busy. Great fun.
The weather here is partly sunny, temperature in the upper 60s, with a
view of palm trees out the hotel window. Eat your hearts out,
Michiganders!

I read it. It was good. I marvel that she's made a successful venue out of
a church. I imagine it blows a few fundie minds to acknowledge the success
of a church venue in A2.
