Recital

On Sunday, October 25th, I performed in a recital at Delaware Valley College sponsored by the Community Conservatory of Music. I sang my favorite songs of all time:

"Someone to Watch Over Me" (Gershwin from the 1920s musical Oh, Kay!))

"They Say It's Wonderful" (Irving Berlin from one of his later musicals, Annie Get Your Gun),

"On the Street Where You Live" (Lerner and Loewe from My Fair Lady)

and finally "The Girl in 14G" (by Jeanine Tesori)

Barbara Weikamp and Joy Keener also sang beautifully. We were accompanied by pianist Bill Gottshall- who is just a wonderful musician and lots of fun to work with.

If I figure out how to add mp3s, then I can add some samples from the performance, but no luck yet...

Greeting an audience member

Abington Lions Club

Last night, I attended the annual Comedy Night fundraiser for the Abington Lions Club. It was a great event, well-planned and well-attended, and I was fortunate to have the honor of being a judge for the amateur comedian competition. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge my camera, so I don't have photos from the event (Bad, Mrs. PA, bad!).

The evening started with dinner and continued with hilarious headlining comedian Tom Ryan, who I recognized from tv. Next, Magician Hunter Gaul gave an entertaining performance. We had some dessert and I drank a couple cups of coffee to keep my energy up for a long evening of fun. Fueled by the magic of caffeine, I was ready to judge the amateur comedians. There were 3 contestants and it was a difficult choice! The audience was kept laughing by the Christian King of Comedy and Chris Smith and some more material from Tom Ryan. My abs are still sore from laughing so much (either I am sadly out of swimsuit competition shape or these guys were really funny).

What a great night! I hope The Lions Club reached their fundraising goal to help in their noble pursuits. It was truly a pleasure getting to know the Abington Lions and an honor to be a part of their festivities.
