Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Clint and I celebrated on Sunday night. We went to a Liederabend (Song Evening)--Can't think of a better translation. We were able to hear Nancy Gibson, an incredibly talented woman who sings in the Chemnitz Opera house. She is Canadian and has been all over the world studying and singing. She sang songs from composers Henry Purcell, Hugo Wolf, Benjamin Britten, and Richard Strauss. It was absolutely wonderful and it made me want to sing again. Anytime I hear someone sing like that it brings back the passion and love I have for music and reminds me that it is something I will always love and makes me happy. I really hope to continue to sing in the future. We had a great time there and then enjoyed a very nice dinner at the "Opera Restaurant". This is a very nice restaurant next to the Opera House. I must say that we weren't quite sure how to act there at times... it was really fancy. It was a great evening, however.

what fun! sounds like you guys are doing great! miss ya!
I'm glad you had a special evening on your own. All I can say to your desire to sing again, is with your talent, you would be cheating the world if you didn't sing! There will always be time in your life to sing if you make time for it! It should be one of your priorities!
Love ya!
Mom
Nice! I'm glad you guys had a fun Valentine's day! And I hope you find a way to use your wonderful gift of singing as well. You've got an excellent voice and I'm glad I get to hear it often! Bis bald! Amy
Sounds similar to my thoughts at the "Liederabend" I went to :) Funny how each concert (unfortunately few and far between) reaffirms my love of music(especially singing!) and my affinity for live performances! So glad it was fun--like the picture, too!
