I used to be that we would get first pick on dates. Supposedly that is still true, but with new exceptions added every season. One more reason to build our own hall! Happy Holidays to you - and see you in January! :-) Hi Gregory – I totally agree. I used to be that we would get first pick on dates.

This time the reason for having two rehearsals a week before Comfort and Joy was the schedule of PCPA. If we owned our hall we won't have this problem. On the other hand the same thing happens sometime because of the cap on number of rehearsals in a 7 day period included in the CBA. Believe me I am all for clear and easy rules but negotiations always mean politics and tactics, too as we know. We just should not give up fighting for common sense solutions! :) Happy Holidays!

If only you'd heard Cary (and Bill Crane) play on the parlor piano at The Woods on Sunday afternoon. He's my hero. BTW, rock n’ roll on your Newport concert.

Those who can't teach, teach gym". Don't know why that comes to mind, perhaps the caffeine hasn't penetrated the morning brain haze. I'll never quite understand management, and certainly not everything that goes on in OSO. But flexible colleagues? To be treasured.
