Here I am out at dinner with a friend celebrating her birthday. She had several other friends I had not met before, so I not only had a nice time, I got to meet new people. I think the technical term there is win - win.
I am a Rotarian and I belong to an Eclub. That means our Rotary Club does not meet "in the flesh" but rather exists on the Internet. We have a weekly program, runs projects - all the things other Rotary Clubs do. This week, I was in charge of the program, complete with pictures. So if you'd like to visit a Rotary Club - no charge - go to

Recswusa - Rotary E Club of South West USA
OTHER ITEMS - No, no word yet on an assignment. You think that wouldn't be a headline?
I went to see GYPSY the other night, with Patti Lupone. It may be the best production of that show ever staged. Lupone does two difficult things - she is beath-takingly Mama Rose and at the same time, does not so dominate that everyone else disappears. There are other wonderful actors and they get a chance to shine - the whole show is not geared to showing off "the star" and the result is spectacular. Outside of some moments at the Metropolitan Opera, perhapps the best things I've seen since I've been back in NY.
Recently I did a recording for a guy who had written a Christmas song, and wanted to send a demo to a publisher. Yesterday I did a recording for a guy who had written a song for his wife for their anniversary. Now this second guy is a composer, and a good one, and it's a really good song. Maybe there's a niche market out there for a boutique singer - you know, you hire me for special events? I could work out a deal with a studio..... tomorrow I'm going to sing at the Guild for the Blind. (That's a freebie.)
And on we all go....
