We got a rave review from The New York Sun!! A few sections from the review:

“I assumed that this would be a pleasing concert, although an amateur one. I was wrong. It was magnificent.

“I have been concentrating on religious music this month and so have heard several large singing ensembles, but none has been even close to the level of professionalism of this strictly volunteer group … The aggregate sound of the assemblage is excellent,and individual bits of melody or harmony move about freely but accurately on a regular basis. The choir expertly combines the two most important tools in a singer’s armamentarium: discipline and passion. They are amateurs in the best of all possible senses.”

“All the material for this presentation was carefully considered for that most high-minded of purposes, a genuine contemplation of our place in the universe.”

Thank you, Fred Kirshnit.

What’s this? Is this a Christmas tree I spy?

Hey. I’m just sitting up here. Do you see me even looking at the tree?

Buddy disappears into the tree, several ornaments die.

Christmas trees are just too interesting to cats. They must be climbed. Ornaments that have been in the family for years must be torn from the tree limbs and broken in a millions pieces.

So I got a little fake tree and put it on my desk.

Shortly afterwards, Finney notices the tree’s existence.

What’s this? ORNAMENTS??

Stay tuned for the aftermath.

On the Apple website where you ask for help, someone started a new topic called “So I Dropped My ipod in a Cup of Coffee”.

It’s such a perfect statement, I could cry.

I could so see myself dropping my ipod in a cup of coffee. “Oops.” Then, I would go on to wonder what good thing had happened to me lately that I was paying for. Then, I would conclude I was getting off lightly (vs dying in the WTC). But then I would think, well, maybe I was paying for a little good thing. Then, I’d be distracted by a cat.

I love singing. I especially love singing in beautiful places. And I can’t get over that we get to sing here (the Metropolitan Museum of Art).

Tonight is the dress rehearsal, then there are two performances on Sunday. The 6:30 performance is sold out. There are still some tickets left for 8PM. To purchase by telephone, call 212-570-3949, any day before 5:00 p.m.
