17 February 2014: Monday ... BodyPump ... a call from Joyce ... Skeesha visit ... talk with Ben's dad ... The Night Classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein and singer-songwriter Tift Merritt ... Ladysmith Black Mombazo amazing tribute album ... 70-year-old gravedigger in frozen soil

Getting set to go to my first practice with the small singing group, The Associates, directed by Margaret Love at the home of Joanne in the North Star neighborhood between Paper Mill and Limestone Roads (husband is Thom Remington, brother of Jeanne Hanson) at 206 Mercury Road, 4.4 miles or a 9 minute drive, according to Google maps. It should be fascinating. I'm taking my Beethoven Quartet book and my Schubert lieder book to show Margaret and Thom and the others.
