Dan-I couldn't have re-capped it better! It was certainly a pleasure to be
in the audience, and I truly appreciate that you thought enough of me to
invite me, Julie--what an awesome job; I love your ability to perform so
well!

Subject: [Nfbmo] Julie's recital

Hi all,
    I attended Julie McGinnity's senior recital  tonight  - I wish you all
could have been there.  I don't have the  language to describe her voice -
but I begin to understand why people become  opera fans.  It's one thing to
hear music via speakers, but it's  another to feel the full acoustics of a 
voice washing across the audience,  encompassing a full dynamic range.   
Starting out with some German  lieder (classical songs), a medley of
American spirituals, hymns and forms I  don't recognize, the event ended
with Julie bringing up Brie to the stage  and singing "Old Mother Hubbard",
in the manner 
of Handel.   I  don't think Brie was quite sure what was going on but she
did 
seem to look up  questioningly when the word 'Bone' was sung.  At the end,
she was  awarded with lots of petting, which she of course loved. It was 
pretty funny,  and sweet as well.   Good to see such a good partner
serenaded 
on such  a big night. The audience really loved it!
  Quite and experience.  I did some photos during and  afterwards - I think
there are a few very good shots.
      Couldn't stay for the reception - had to get  home to prepare for a
meeting tomorrow.
     Thanks for the invitation, Julie!
Dan
