And, even though I’ve seen every episode 4 times, I still can’t tear myself away from watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I would never curse Buffy. Buffy is cursed enough. Poor girl. Favorite episode: Something Blue.Continue reading “Habits”

Last night, we sat around the musical director, reviewing the music for Carousel.  We sang the final number, “And don’t be afraid of the dark, at the end of the storm is a golden sky, and the sweet, silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, though yourContinue reading “Rodgers and Hammerstein”
