The four-year-olds’ church choir I co-direct had their Christmas program tonight. Parents, grandparents, and siblings were in attendance. What sweethearts. This year is my first as co-director, and I’ve had a lot of fun with these kids. Happy holiday-time programs and celebrations to you!

But, coming up on January 28, I am definitely going to “Latin Guitar Styles Master Class,” held at the Schmitt Music Minnetonka. Following this, some of us Minneapolis/St. Paul-area music [...]
