Catching up

Blog City has been down the past few days so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Saturday was very busy and exciting.  Choral Spectrum participated in a gospel workshop with Dr. Linda B. Walker.   Even though I've been a serious student of country blues guitar I know almost nothing about gospel.  That evening was the concert.  We went on first and did some great songs.  My favorites were Ezekiel Saw The Wheel and John the Revelator.  After us were Voices for Christ, The Southview High School Choir and The Kent State Gospel Choir.  The music was exciting and the crowd really got into it.  My daughter summed the entire event up perfectly when she said, "Normally I play my gameboy the entire concert but this time I didn't even play ¹/₄ of a game.  That's how good it was.  You should always do gospel music!" 

I want to thank all of my family and friends who came to this concert.  It's wonderful to know that I have so much support.  Next quarter we are doing  Vaughan Williams' Mass in G minor.

People who know me know I'm a computer geek.  One of the things that fascinates me is the spread of Wi-Fi.  I love taking my laptop to Arabica and tapping into their high speed wireless internet connection.  I found an interesting article called How to Steal Wi-Fi and How to Keep the Neighbors From Stealing Yours.  It appeals to the hacker in me and I can only imagine what I would have done if computers had been around when I was young.  The article goes on to talk about warchalking.  This is where one makes symbols out of chalk around areas that have wi-fi.  This comes from symbols that hobos would use to let other hobos know about places they could get hand-outs or other help.
