So lagging...

Anyway, school is getting more intense. Opera scenes are getting staged/blocked/memorized, and now is the time to be thinking about juries again. Those are the 'finals' for all students taking private lessons. We basically get a repertoire of X number of songs to offer to a panel who will be writing comments and giving your private teacher a recommendation for a grade. Luckily I've been able to pull of a couple of 'A's.

When I was growing up, all the kids in Alameda, especially those who played sports, knew all the other kids' dads. Since I wasn't one of the stars, people knew my dad but he wasn't that cool. Now, since most of the kids are grown ups [or wannabe grown ups like me] and they all play instruments or got involved into music, all of a sudden my dad is 'cool'. Like friday, he was invited to play in my friend's band. Basically they were playing 70s rock tunes, something that my dad was never into. By the time the 70s rolled around he was already playing his own stuff. But sure enough I showed up and there he was, the only pinoy with a bunch of white kids, playing stuff you'd hear on 107.7 the Bone. Kinda cool actually, now that all my friends are raving about how awesome and cool he is.

So yeah, I have a couple of dates for you all...

Monday, November 15th - Vocal student recital at Knuth Hall, Creative Arts Bldg, SFSU
Thursday, December 2nd - Opera Scenes performance, same place as above.

Both start at 8 pm and both are FREE!!!

So for the few of you following my happenings I hope to see you there.

Oh yeah - VOODOO, you'd be proud at how I learned how to prounounce the French in my Carmen scene.
