We’re Baaaack!

We reunite for our first rehearsal after we all return from our respective vacations. We spend the first fifteen minutes leaping on each other and declaring how much we’ve missed each other. It is, after all, ALMOST our third anniversary as a group. Audrey says it seems like our second, but I am the record-keeper. I know. It is indeed our third. If this were a marriage I believe it would entitle us to gifts of paper or plywood or some equally useless commodity. Actually, it’s LEATHER! I just looked it up! Hmmmmmm… I’m picturing pants, no?

Anyway, we eventually get down to business. We have a busy week in October coming up: a fashion show (hey, those leather pants could come in handy!), a coffeehouse, and a return engagement at Steve’s piano student recital (which had been our first gig, see earlier in the blog.) We revisit “And So It Goes” (the Billy Joel one). We then start working on “Silhouettes” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Both are hilarious fun. Or perhaps it was the margaritas whipped up by Brenda. Whatever… it’s good to be back.

Many thanks to our loyal fans, new friends (and soon-to-be loyal fans) who came out to our summer events. We defied the weatherman’s gloomy prediction for the Somerset Patriots game and sang the Star Spangled Banner under beautiful skies and an almost-full moon. (Note: if we ever decide to record, the stairwell where we warmed up at the stadium is PERFECT!) We also sang at two Mt. Olive events: Mt. Olive Community Day and the rescheduled Flanders Park Summer Concert which had been rained out in July.
