Guilty Start

That's what I gave when I realised how long it is since I wrote anything in the blog. We have been working away seemingly endlessly for the Big Gig in Wexford in June. After a slightly iffy start we have come to some sort of terms with Harbourings and now like it a lot. It really does grow on you and as we learn more about it we appreciate it more. There is some lovely music in it and it is becoming a joy to sing.
It has been an interesting experience with new people taking us thru the music, each in their individual way. My respect for all of them increases as I begin to realise just how many balls they are keeping in the air during any performance. I read somewhere that it is actually impossible to do all the things that need to be done in a musical performance....... but, still, they do it.
As the weather improves and the sun shines it is harder and harder to force yourself to rehearsal but it will be worth while in the end.
