How Dare I Try To End This Beauty....

Okay..so it has been almost a year since my last entry. Well, I'm back!

What a great cast!!!! Five rehearsals and HAIR is already a blast. After an 8 year hiatus, I have returned to the world of "cast member"! Although I've been choreographing, performing tap, and teaching for those eight years there are several areas that have escaped me.

#1: my voice. My range has suffered and my vocal strength has completely walked out on me. I've been abandoned. Left to die right in the middle of "Let The Sunshine In". The ten previous years of voice training (eight years ago) seem utterly in vain right now.

#2: my ear. What in the hell was that note again? -and-what is thie squiggly thingy at m.17?

#3: my confidence...yes...I admit it. At least I have long hair.........I may be one of the oldest in the cast, but I got hair, life and freedom dammit!

So now I have to buck up and deal with it and as a jazz instructor at my studio says 'grow a pair'.

Pardon me everyone, I have to eat dinner now and "grow" a pair.

Later losers

PS: Did I mention that I am thrilled to be back?!
