I. Am. So. Proud. Of. You. Dear Pwmp-ettes, Thank you for such a great concert series. I think you gifted the audiences at both locations with Comfort and Joy! As I write this, I'm grinning ear to ear. Lots of people told me that they loved it. Some in the audience who are experienced choral afficionados remarked at your high skill level and difficulty of the music. One wept in my arms and thanked YOU for sharing the music, the beauty, and the deep feelings. If you heard other comments, please send them to me. It's good for us to know and save what our audience thinks. We try to collect them. See you Saturday for two other really important singing events for comfort and joy. Cheers! Gayle

On Christmas Natus Est Salve Regina Snow etc So .... come a little earlier to help set up the chairs? I'll be there at 6:10. ------------------------ Hi PWMP, How tired are you today? ! I'm hoping it's a good tired, one where you know how much of yourself you gave to the music and the audience yesterday. Such a good tired! Thank you. The audience seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed it! One comment was that it was an eclectic set of pieces that went together very well. Ambitious and delightful. I'm very proud of y...
