Huh?

So, Minnich Music is having an open house/recital  on the 19th, (1-4, if you're in the neighborhood) and I foolishly decided to finish/refinish some furniture for this event. (I must be an idiot!) When I began this process, I thought I'd have lots of help. Sigh. My daughter has opted out. My older son is still a Marine in Hawaii. My husband has work from the office that must get finished - I understand that. He gets paid for this work to be done. My younger son, who I thought would be a great help, is still recovering from pneumonia and is of little use. My soon-to-be daughter-in-law is busy working the night shift. So, the score currently stand at: 2 end tables - one sanded, painted - done; one sanded stained and coated with polyurethane - done. One stool - sanded, stained and coated with polyurethane - done. One chair - painstakingly stripped, sanded painted (2 coats), and reupholstered - done. One breakfast nook - table, supports, two benches with backs, one bench without a back, and one corner unit - stripped. Still to be done - breakfast nook, scraping, sanding, staining, and coated with 3 layers of rub-on polyurethane. Tomorrow. We won't even talk about the reupholstering. . . 


I have the beginnings of a blog on performing. But it will have to wait till next week. 


In the meantime; please watch and listen to this video of Placido Domingo, Anna Nebrebko, and Rolando Villazon singing Dein is mein ganzes Herz from Franz Lehar's Das Land des Laechelns (The Land of Smiles). Normally this is a solo, but this was filmed in a trio recital, so they did it as a trio. Why not?

See you next week!
