From Hollywood With Love

So Saturday night here in Quitman was the 2nd Annual Quitman Community Theater/Quitman Rotary Club Dinner Theater/Fundraiser (that is a lot of slashes for a small space). It consisted of various love songs from Hollywood musicals such as Annie, Guys and Dolls and Annie Get Your Gun. We had a great time and performed before a sold out crowd on Saturday. It was the largest single night crowd in the history of the QCT.

For the second time now in about 4 months I was a part of a show that involved a lot of singing and music. For me that is pretty crazy. I've never been much of a singer (I at least don't feel like I'm very good at it) so to say that this is a step out of my comfort zone is an understatement really. This is more of a catapult launch out of my comfort zone. I don't mind being on stage either as a speaker or in a play, but getting in front of a crowd of people for the sole purpose of singing, well that is hard for me to do. Thankfully, the audience only had to hear me do any kind of solo (longer than a single line of a song that is) one time. I was part of a duet that sang the song "High Hopes." It was fun to get to do though and I'm glad I had the chance...it's nice to stretch yourself really. Here is a picture of the cast from the show. Peace and Love y'all.

No, this is from Roni, but somehow I'm under you name, so it looks like you are patting yourself on the back. Sorry about that. I love you.
