Schedule
John Tyson can coach us on October 25, so I have scheduled that.
I
told him it was easier to organize rides for him here than to organize
the beer drinking at a different place from the rehearsing. So
can someone volunteer to pick him up on their way to rehearsal? Anne
and Stuart are the obvious suspects, since Bonnie and Bruce are coming
from the other direction, and Ishmael and Barney don’t come by
car.
Suggestions for which pieces it would make sense to work on with
John are welcome. I was thinking of Phyllis and “Vive la Serpe”, and
maybe one of the ballads. Bruce hasn’t done Dulcina, so it might make
sense to do that rather than Greensleeves.
This will mean that November 1 is our only normal rehearsal before
the November 11 opening night performance. We didn’t cover all the
music last Tuesday, so I think it would be really good to have another
rehearsal between November 1 and November 11, so that we can do all
the stuff Bruce has never seen before on November 1, and then do a
dress rehearsal on the new date. It looks like Thursday the 10th is a
possible date for that. Is that a problem for anyone?
New Gig
I’m writing the woman in Lowell that we would be happy to play an
hour of English Music on December 1.
After we throw out the French music, and put back the 17th and 18th
century drinking songs, we may be able to add a couple of things to
the November program, so requests are welcome. I was thinking
Anacreon might be a good choice.
