So I got a comment the other day on my last post from someone who said she wants to read more about my process while learning new music. I’ve actually thought about this a lot, especially since I’ve spent the last couple of weeks rehearsing for a concert of all new music. to be performed [...]
It had been several days since Wrong Number Guy called me, but just when I thought he had finally deleted my number from his phone, he called again. I was surprised he left a message, though; since that last conversation, he has been pretty good about listening to my outgoing message to see if it’s [...]
So there I was, standing in the courtyard of St. Mark’s Church, after a long rehearsal and what seemed like an even longer session of listening to Wrong Number Guy leave these desperate messages for some woman (not me!) on my phone. I decided to take pity on him and call him back. He at [...]
To recap: I have been getting bizarre messages from some guy who thinks I’m someone else. For the sake of this blog, let’s call him Wrong Number Guy.

I know I usually use my blog to write about the good things going on in my life, but today I want to pause and remember a friend and colleague who took his own life yesterday. Angel Oramas was a vibrant tenor who always had something to say about just about anything. When I first [...]
In December, a big winter storm blew through Philadelphia on the second day of the Philadelphia Singers‘ Christmas on Logan Square concert. An email went around to the singers announcing that despite bad weather conditions, the show would still go on. Singers and audience members alike were offered a special group rate at a nearby [...]
I know things have been kind of slow around here. I still have to rebuild my professional site, which is taking forever, plus this time of year is the busiest for us singers. I have been continuing with my situp/pushup/squat challenge, and if you check out my tweets every other day, you’ll see I’m even [...]
