Wow! It was quite the weekend! Many thanks to everyone who visited for the celebration. Your kind words were very special to me, thus a reason why I interacted with every visitor. Simply thank you! Meanwhile, it on to #1001 and a return to normality.
I was also busy on the personal front. Friday night we attended the Cincinnati Pops concert, featuring a production called Ballroom with a Twist – which had people from Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and support dancers – all with the wonderful Cincinnati Pops Orchestra providing the music. It was quite the entertaining evening for us.
I worked in the yard Saturday morning and early afternoon, then we returned to the ballroom part of Music Hall for the Fall Ball – a local ballroom event. Interestingly, the cast from Ballroom with a Twist briefly stopped by. This afternoon, we worked in 9-holes of golf. So, it was an active weekend.
Given the flurry of the weekend, I need some a sense of calm to start the week. Because our handbell choir returned to practice mode, here is an unlikely trio – one guitarist, one flutist, and one handbell player. Enjoy … and have a good week.

Man, that was one AWESOME blow out. I don’t know about you, but I’m WIPED! So do we hit you up at 1500, or do we have to wait until 2000? (I say, just for fun, we co-opt each other’s blog, so we get double credit! Sorry, it’s the Chicagoan in me – post early, post often! 😀 )
Have a good rest, buddy. Now we BOTH have a week’s worth of work ahead! 😉

John,
Another party? No plans here. For someone who doesn’t like to self-promote, this one was tough. BTW – maybe someday we can do a joint post. Thanks for the help this weekend!

Nice to know that you still made time for life in The Real World as all the virtual festivities were going on on your site Frank. Now I have your site to thank for that rendition of “Downtown” by Mrs. Miller still playing on my internal iPod. You have a good week, too!

Over here at The Grind, my colleagues just played her mutilating “Downtown”. I’m never going to escape that off-key warbling and ghastly vibrato. She sings as if she’s just reading the lyrics for the first time.

LOL … or Oh no (depending on the perspective). Because you have recently heard it (while I’m trying to vanquish it from my memory neurons), isn’t there also a whistling interlude?

Funny you should ask, Dear Buddy, it’s actually an out of tune sounding saw. My sidekick, Greg, is a musician and an audio engineer. He solved that mystery instantly. I dare ya, Frank, listen to it again.

My guess is the sound engineers did something with her singing voice.

That apparatus with all the bells is called a handbell tree. Actually, in the video you can see other versions. Definitely interesting, but something I’m not interested in trying. Glad you enjoy it … and life is good! Thanks for commenting.

I would really have enjoyed your “Ballroom with a Twist,” Frank. My daughter and I went to a “So You Think You Can Dance” performance following the end of the show’s season, and had so much fun. After your weekend partying and revelry, you do need a quiet, calm Monday. Breathe deep…and lighter! ha! Debra

Being that I’m not a watcher of So You Think You Can Dance or American Idol, I couldn’t see you the participants … but all were fun. Just an enjoyable show with the dancing breaking up the singing, plus the singing breaking up the dancing. Thanks for commenting.
