I’m probably crazy, but I agreed to accompany the high school musical this year. They’re doing Anything Goes, which I’ve never actually seen. I’ve been immersing myself in the music for days now, listening to the CDs and playing through the accompaniment book. I even put De-Lovely on my Netflix list.
Carolyn is going to accompany me to a lot of rehearsals over the next three months. She’ll either really love theater when she gets older or really hate the whole concept – and she may not even know why. I have to be totally insane to have agreed to this, though. I mean, what if I’m in the middle of playing a song and she totally freaks out? Or gets hungry? Or…? (Not to mention that some of this music is kind of hard, and my practice time is somewhat limited at the moment.)
Oh, well. I’m just going to have to trust that it will work out. And bring lots of fun, quiet toys…
