Enjoyed working on my Strauss and Liszt songs today for my recital. Beautiful music for a beautiful day! Later, in the evening I was called by a "political pollster" who seemed to have biased questions about Senator Reid. The final question was whether I was going to support the Tea Party or oppose the Tea Party. I said I would not support the Tea Party but not oppose them either. The "pollster" wrote down that I oppose the Tea Party. It seems to me this was a bogus poll done by someone or a group of people trying to get bad press out on all candidates but the Tea Party candidate. I am now definitely against the Tea Party! Manipulation up the butt! I need a shower!

Currently enjoying the beginning of a beautiful Nevada fall. It helps to be working on AI of Tosca with a performance of "Recondita armonia" followed by the duet "Mario! Mario! Mario!" with one of my more advanced students singing the role of Tosca. That performance is this Friday, the 15th, at 8 PM at Our Lady of Las Vegas Catholic Church. Just happen to have a concert the same day at 12 noon, at Lloyd George Federal Courthouse. It's free and open to the public in the Jury Selection Room. The music will be oper, operetta, Broadway and some jazz. I'm really busy on Friday, yikes!
