A Quote to Start the Day Right...

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.  ~Maya Angelou

The Evolution of Celtic Music

Enjoy this Breton band's beautiful and flowing rendition of a set of jigs. Notice the dancing in the audience, which is exactly how it should be-- Celtic music was meant to be danced to!

A quote for the day

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.  You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.  
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Tomorrow, tomorrow--

Time to go to bed. Tomorrow looms before me with its somewhat overwhelming list of "to dos". It seems to mock me as I begin to think about sleep, as if it knows that sleep will be difficult if not impossible. As before all big performances, I most likely won't be able to turn my brain off tonight. I'm filled with an equal measure of anxiety, excitement and anticipation. Tomorrow is Evita's opening night. Tomorrow I'll be performing in front of all my friends and family, and my goal will be to live the life of extraordinary woman from beginning to end-- in two hours.


Wish me luck with sleep.
 Goodnight.
