I just got email about choirs geared towards people 55 and older. They are called Encore Chorales (also Encore Rocks) and they are run by an organization called Encore Creativity for Older Adults. I don’t have the time for another choir, but I looked at the program for this fall in my area and it looks so fun!

When my book about singing came out, people kept telling me how hard it was to find a choir where they are, and Encore choirs aren’t everywhere yet, but see if they are. One important fact is they are non-auditioned and I know having to audition puts a lot of people off. I can relate. I got through it the last time, like 40 years ago, and I never want to have to audition again!

Passed this by on a walk along the Hudson. I hate sitting on the beach in the warm weather, it sucks the life right out of me. The only upside to a beach is jumping into the water, which isn’t an option here! There is no reason on earth for me to spend anytime here, except in the fall or winter. It’s very pretty to look at though.
