 Pace Tears for Fears: I cannot be the sole person who does not, in fact, want to rule the world.

Excellent rehearsal yestereven! And we have two more rehearsals this week a-coming. also, the Administrator at Redeemer is doing a great job promoting our concert locally! It looks like this concert, too, will livestream via Facebook. Watch This Space!

Kevin Scott’s piece for the October program at King’s will soon be ready, and Todd Brunel will write a piece for us at some point.

I did mention the other day the auld friend who will pass on the scores (which I have now sent him) to a local chamber outfit. It was he who commissioned both the Three Things That Begin with ‘C’ and the De profundis. 

And, in “unexpected ways in which the Dick van Dyke Show was groundbreaking” ... Morey Amsterdam hadn't had a Bar-Mitzvah as a boy (his family was poor) ... so he was Bar-Mitzvahed on the air as a grown man on 2 March 1966. Funny episode, too, as Buddy mysteriously keeps asking to leave work early, and Rob and Sally come to realize that his excuses are fibs, and Rob shocks himself by wondering if Buddy is being unfaithful to Pickles. Very cute.
