My cousin's children's book

It's finally published! While I haven't seen the book myself, Isaac is so witty and wonderful that I'm sure the book is too. All you with kids or young relatives, buy it here!

UAB Opera Picnic at Oak Mountain: August 28

If you've ever been in a UAB Opera production, or hope to be in one this year, come see some old friends and make new ones. Joe and I will bring the kayaks and spring for the cost of the pavilion. Everyone bring a little something to share: a salad, hotdogs, soda, or whatever: sign-ups for food will be posted here soon. Friend me on Facebook and RSVP there. We'll nail down a real time frame later when we know what works for everyone. Bring your bathing suits or hiking shoes, kick back, and let's start the school year off right!

My latest purchase

We'll have not only audio recording for lessons, but also video! I plan to integrate this into Opera Workshop, since y'all don't believe what I say until you see the video. More details to come...
