I may never do this again...?

Erin asked a question in her comment about the concert pictures, that I'll answer here.

I said I may never do this again...
and that is not necessarily true. I've come to know that I want to spend a lot of time (once we're settled) in studying music, playing - or learning to play another instrument (drums, recorder, percussion, Celtic harp...) and, of course, singing. I can see us finding a bunch of retired music teachers and forming a small band to play for seniors, country clubs, women's clubs, etc. I'd love to find a quartet or quintet of female voices to do some baroque music, too. What fun.

What I meant with that comment was that the total experience was so unique it is unlikely to be repeated. One big thing that made it so special is that NO ONE in Ruidoso had any idea that I could/would do that. And certainly not that I could do it well. Steve and I rehearsed a lot. We were ready and confident; had all the moves down; knew we blended well...and both of us have more than enough stage experience to be really comfortable. We didn't look or perform like your neighborhood Karaoke singers. We were hot and we knew it.
Also, the theater personnel treated us like pros and handled all the technical aspects with an extremely high level of skill and professionalism. There aren't many theaters of that caliber in this country.

There were just too many unique and wonderful aspects of that weekend that came together to make a once-in-a-lifetime event. It could not be duplicatable if only for the fact that there can be only one 'first' time. Outside of a church choir, my last time onstage before that concert was sometime in the mid 70's!
