Another good suburban show

Watching the arts in the suburbs of Melbourne.  The Bel Canto Choir was formed 24 years ago. This all female choir is still going strong. The program this year was chosen by the choir and audience members. If you watch the video l show the program. It was a variety of songs that worked well. If there is one thing l would like to do it is to sing in a choir. My singing voice is so bad that if l did start singing people would be running for the doors! Are you in a choir? Let's start a conversation.

Another great book by Peter Fitzsimons.  Mutiny on the Bounty. A well written book with good research that takes the reader to the ocean. Now that's what l call a good history book.

Oh, to be a virtuoso pianist

I've seen some wonderful pianists lately.  Think back over time to all the good pianists who've been in music. Billy Joel and Elton John are just 2 l can think of. I would like to learn the piano and a few years ago l did start with a music teacher. 3 weeks later l'm moving away to another house sitting job and so went the lessons. I don't stay anywhere long enough to have lessons. Can you play the piano? I wish l could.

I saw a show recently and they played songs from the 60s/70s  The songs from this era are still popular. So it got me thinking. What's your favourite song from this era? Mine is Moondance by Van Morrison.

A new book is being released on September 8th.  It is book number 63 in this series. I've never known of any other author write that many books in the same series. Of course, who am l talking about? J.D. Robb Who is, of course, Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb. I think she started writing these books in 1995 and she's still writing them. Do you like J.D. Robb books, have you read them all? Let's start a conversation.

Which do you prefer an alto or tenor saxophone.?

I've been listening to John Coltrane this week.   The saxophone is not my favourite instrument to listen to but Coltrane made it sing. I especially like the work he did with Miles Davis's Kind of Blue. He was gone by the age of 40 but, thankfully he made many recordings that we can still listen to today.

This ballet was for my sisters birthday  It was her choice. We couldn't fault the dancing. There was not one missed step. The costuming was good too. The only thing neither of us liked was the story itself. We both agreed that having seen it once we won't see it again. Have any of you seen this ballet? Did you like it? The Victorian Ballet stage high quality shows. We saw this one at The Drum in Dandenong. If you get a chance to see this company dance it is well worth it.
