On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

Sarah (and Friends) by Starlight
Some of the most fun during my time in Italy was the “musical entertainment” between courses at dinner. Of course, we sang for each other. One night, Henk brought his guitar and we had an actual sing-along, but most nights we just improvised pieces and taught each other songs.
Following is a (very poorly lit) video of an improvised piece near the end of the week. True, you can’t really see us, but you can hear us. *smile*

By the way, I’m singing with my friends Jurg (to my left), “guest director” Lorenzo, my roommate Sarah (to my right) and Noemi (to Sarah’s right, heard but never seen *smile*).

In August, I learned the destination for my next trip abroad for the year-long vocal improv class I’m taking.
For our second week of in-person study, my singing classmates and I will meet the Canary Islands.
In December. (*tee hee*)
They’re here in case you were wondering.
(And, yes, I have my ticket. *grin*)
