From 1984-1986, before my so-called 'career' at US Airways, I sang with an acapella group at EPCOT called Voices of Liberty. That's me, back row, 3rd from the right - yep - that's really Tricky Dicky in the middle, not a cardboard cutout. The group had some incredible Christmas arrangements which brought a dimension to vocal music like I have not experienced since. I LOVED singing the holiday music. So, now - I'm retired - and, on a lark, I'm auditioning as a 'sub' (for the Christmas season) on Aug 17 so I'll have a chance to sing those arrangements again. In preparation, I've hired a vocal coach to whip me into shape in a short period of time, and even if I don't get called to perform the arrangements, I will have stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something that I've not done, on that level, for over 20 years. Wish me luck ......
"Vanity of vanities; all is vanity"These words from Ecclesiastes 1:2 came to mind when I had to get a "head shot" for this audition.
Our friend, Jo-Ann, came by and snapped away and I chose this one for the 'jury' at Disney.
With the help of Photoshop 101, wrinkles and barnacles are removed and hopefully they
won't point me to the Social Security line.
