Thank you.
I must say, I’m a bit stupefied by this month’s calendar. It’s all such a delicious flurry of fun! Please notice all the unusual bits. It’s always great to have some seasoned community support around events with the general muggle public.
And, WOW!!! I am typeless (versus speechless) with gratitude and amazement that so many of you showed up for Kalliope’s debut performance last night! Sharon, Jamie and I had so much fun sharing all that music with you and I’m truly humbled by your support and attention and enjoyment of the evening. Let’s do that again, too, eh?
