I will be at a concert tonight. It will be populated by some variously talented and variously prepared young singers hoping to make a mark in an art form that is having some growing pains. This concert represents a small milestone in my efforts to do my part to help that art form grow.<\/p>\n
I am always surprised when faced with evidence that life can be really synchronous. I subscribed to Greg Sandow\u2019s blogs some time ago, and today I opened his latest blog, http:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/sandow\/2014\/09\/what-we-should-do.html<\/a>, after my first cup of coffee in my little hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n It has taken Greg a bit of time to get there, but he is now on my page. Give the audience a reason to return and you will have the best reason to keep your doors open.\u00a0 That is if you have a theater.<\/p>\n If I had more time I would have more to write. I just got back from the last class in this Torino series, and I will have to rush to be on time for this evening\u2019s event.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I will be at a concert tonight.
