Our little road trip turned out to be a pretty fun adventure. We got to see Forever Gershwin, which included selections from Porgy and Bess, and later we noshed on sushi with that indefatigable showstopper Norm Lewis as well as the conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra, whose enthusiasm while gliding the orchestra and the 168 person chorale through It Ain't Necessarily So was nothing short of contagious. I must say, it took the top of my head clean off to hear that many people scatting simultaneously. Thrilling, inspiring gut-wrenchingly brilliant stuff. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
I miss singing in a chorale. More on that some other time.
I had to post this video to give you an idea of what I saw and heard. So lush! I don't know if I could ever get sick of this song...!
I'd say this newest addition worked out just fine, wouldn't you? I'm just relieved that it fits. There's nothing quite like buying something you can't try on before that point of purchase.
