Dienstag, oder "Bean stalk"

Tomorrow marks the halfway point of this trip.

WOW.

We will thus far visited Hannover, Minden, Celle, Wuntsorf, Bad Pyrton, a big Schloss owned by a Wellesley alum from the class of '73, and a Monestary with a fantastic restaurant. We've driven for hours and hours and eaten for just as many hours, and perhaps, we've even rehearsed and performed for the same amount of time as the other two.

This trip, more than any other tour I've ever been on, has brought more body-rocking laughter out of me personally, and it seems that is a spreading phenomenon. What luck, to be stuck in three cars and close quarters with such wonderful people and musicians.

Cheryl will be jumping on here to give some background information on our two programs, one of Tudor music and the other consisting of German composers writing about John the Baptist, and Paul will jump on to wax poetic about Reformation history and some of the noteworthy sights we have seen so far in the churches we've visited along the route.

But first, let's hear from one of the newer Canto sopranos, Miss Emily.
