Well, Lourie updated her blog so I guess it is my turn. All I can say is that what she posted is what has been going on. Some things on my side of the fence have been happening.
Singing. As of Tuesday, I am now the tenor for the Foghorns, the "official" barbershop quartet singing out of Coast Guard Headquarters. With a new lead, bass, tenor we are just starting from scratch. First we need to build a repertoir, then work on tweaking it to sound good. Top priority is learning their version of the National Anthem since that will be highly requested. Then we add from there.
Harmonizers. Still there as well. On Tuesday, Richard got his mitts on me for my vocal assessment. Not too bad. My high and low ranges are accurate and well focused. That middle section needs some tuning. I need to stay more engaged and keep my core moving through the whole range. I will also be trying my hand at the baritone part. I have been singing tenor for over 25 years so moving to a new part will be a challenge. The Harmonizers need more baritones and we are overabundant in tenors. I look forward to learning a new part.
Today we should be getting our new piano. We ordered a digital piano last week and UPS shows it out for delivery today. That will be good since today is an "off" day for me. No rehearsals or performances. It will need to be set up and I have to find a plug for it but that will be easy.
This weekend Kristin and I will be driving up to Williamsport for the Little League World Series. My quartet will be singing the anthem at the 1pm game on Sunday. That will be fun and exciting again.
Thats all for now. I will update after the weekend.
