So last night we had a mother daughter banquet at our church - there were so many people there! I don't know where they all came from, but it was nice to see so many faces. I sang....it was ok....but I also got to hear Mary Lu Walker which was very nice. Genni enjoyed her and behaved extrordinarily well last night - to which everyone commented on how wonderful she was behaving (I though to myself, "I can't take too much credit because it could very easily have gone the other way"- I have a hard time taking compliments like that because I don't like thinking people will be blaming my parenting skills if she doesn't behave....it's a catch 22) Anyway, the other nice thing about church is there are enough adults that she feels comfortable with that I don't have to worry about where she is all the time - here she is with Cathy last night...
To recap on the weeks events: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I drove to Williamsport (well to Mansfield and then rode to Williamsport) for WSO rehearsal/concert - amazing Jazz pianist Mike Garson was the guest artist - I was very impressed. All through rehearsals we kept skipping over his improv parts, so I didn't really hear him play till the concert. Then he did this encore where he had the audience sing a D and told the conductor to bring us in at random times whenever he wanted to on D's or whatever was in he chord - and this guy just improvised in the style of Liszt for awhile - on just that chord! It was really interesting because everyone in the room was involved in the improvisation. Eric played at the choir concert Monday night, and I heard that went very well as well. So then Wednesday I had choir and Thursday was the banquet and now a nice free weekend and Friday night - I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow morning!
