Upcoming Spring Concert

Hey all,

No real cancer updates this time, other than to say my October CAT scan and January blood test and X-ray showed no problems. I have another CAT scan next Tuesday. I feel fine and my energy is back to normal, as if nothing happened.

Anyway, my purpose in writing this missive is to let you know about a concert I will be participating in. Amy King, an excellent Oberlin-trained violinist from my church, and I will be putting on a Lenten-themed violin/piano concert Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00 p.m.

Amy and I have put together about 50 minutes' worth of music with a Palm Sunday/Holy Week/Easter theme, in a program we're calling "Hosanna!" Much of it is choral or piano music that we have adapted and arranged for violin and piano, including the title song based on the hymn "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna." We have a great combination of upbeat, majestic, relaxed, and fun music, and I might even play the organ on a few numbers. Admission is free and open to the public. We'll be taking a free-will offering and donating the funds to the church's music fund, plus we'll have snacks afterward, but we're really just doing this for the fun of it.

It will be at St. Paul UCC, 9715 East River Rd, Elyria, Ohio 44035. I realize a lot of you live out of the area, so I don't expect you to come, but I thought I'd just keep you in the loop. I've attached the flyer I designed (which could be a dangerous move, seeing as one of my former graphic design profs is also on this e-mail list).

Hope you can make it.
