Tis' the season...

Fa la la la la la la la la! Hey, remember that scene in the Christmas Story when they go eat at that Chinese restaurant and they end up having duck? Hahahah! Thats a funny movie, and I am sure one that we will see on every channel in the week to come. I absolutely love this time of year. Christmas always seems so magical to me! Maybe its all the lights that are on at night now. Maybe its that crisp in the air? Maybe its because my birthday is the 24th? hint hint! heehee! Yes, I will be 33 this year. Hey, I'm excited to get older! You see, it seems that age means something in my career. As a singer there tends to be a few different levels or categories that we are thrown into. "Oh, you're a baby!" - I think this one lasts from like 18 - 28. Then, magically on your birthday you are a "young singer" now ready and expected to have participated in various "young artist programs". I think that the "young artist" lasts from maybe 28 - 35? I wouldnt know, as I am merely 32. (well, for another 8 days) The weird thing is, it seems that you go from "young artist" to "veteren performer" overnight!? Maybe "young" lasts until you are 40. I remember reading somewhere not too long ago that a very famous soprano that we all know was mentioned as "the young soprano". What? Hmmmm, what was my point? Oh yeah! Its almost my birthday! heehee!

You know what else happens around this time? Thats right, Messiahs. Is it ok to mention the word Messiah in the plural? ...hmmm, would it then be Messiahs? Anyway, I leave on Tuesday for Nashville, TN to sing a Messiah...my last gig of 2007. It should be fun, as the other singers have been known to lay it down from time to time. ;-)

In other news, can the Cowboys make it 8 wins in a row against the Eagles? YES THEY CAN!!! C'MON COWBOYS!!!
