I attended the cello performance at U Hospital.  Mary did a duet
with her teacher that went quite well.  The other cellists -- who
ranged in age from little kid to adult -- were pretty good too.
After the cello performances, I did a brief audition for the
lady in charge of the Gift of Art program.  If the scheduling
works out, I may be performing sometime this fall.

My ballet ragtime performance is next Saturday, May 13.
The student recital starts at 7:30pm and takes place at Mercy
High School, located at 11 Mile and Middlebelt Roads, in the
northwest Detroit burbs.  It's open to the public, $7 for adults
and $3.50 for children, tickets at the door.  I'll be playing
George Botsford's "Black and White Rag", as choreographed by the
ballet teacher, Karen Milligan.  Be forewarned that my spot is
only about 5 minutes' worth of a 90-minute recital.  But after
last night's rehearsal I know it'll be a *good* 5 minutes,
especially the part where the dozen ballerinas all run around
the piano...  :)
