Somebody locked the door, and nobody could get to the table!

Real mixed emotions this weekend. My old friend Howard Glasser, who ran the Eisteddfod for so many years was in intensive care for several days. Thank God he seems to have turned the corner and is out of intensive care. And then I see where another old friend, Margaret MacArthur is dying. I connect them in my mind and heart because I drove up to Massachusetts to hear Margaret at a concert that Howard was doing. We did it to suprise Howard, and to meet Margaret. My 37 year old son was still in diapers then so it's been a long time.

At the same time, we had a beautiful concert Saturday night. a big turnout for the dinner, with family friends, neighbors and strangers all enjoying each other's company. I used my new sound system for the first time and it was magnificent, and we all sang better than we have in a long time... amazing what a good sound system can do for you.

I've been trying to get an answer about the Church And Street Corner Harmony workshop and was getting frustrated because the guy from the Doo Wop group hasn't responded to my e-mails. Got an e-mail today and he's been dealing with family crises and apologized for not responding.

That's the way life shakes out... Thank God for the beautiful times.. they help to get through the hard ones..
