How Many Runs At Breckenridge

"chorister or firefighters?

"... On Sunday November 4 we will find coral ....., at 18 Hrs A little less than 1 hour one of the participating choirs informs me that for a particular problem can not attend. Was there any possibility that a chorus save me ????..."

This mail came in today on a mailing list dedicated to our activity, and rescued him from there is because I note that is a phenomenon that has been repeated with some regularity in recent times.

In fact, I recently went to sing at a choral event, covering a chorus that warned it would not be involved with 4 days in advance . Of course, for my group was the phenomenon, but I think it's not the point.

I think the important, in this case, you get a little on-site who organizes or coordinates the event. In many cases it often happens that the organizer is a chorus or part of it, people who are killed getting lung pure place, putting him in a position, by distributing, designing flyers, newsletters and programs hand, in some cases, diplomas and personalized souvenirs ... And all for what? For last minute (think of a coral meeting usually planned months in advance) you send a mail saying "you know what, we will not go, conseguite another chorus."

How one can put forward to organize another meeting coral? Okay, usually always see any group (medium or small, which obviously are the ones who have to mobilize people and therefore less able to respond faster) than "off the fire", but still you have to find a place to keep you the souvenirs for a choir of 40 singers , you had to replace it with a sextet. And what you spent on materials and labor time, do not get replenished anyone.

If there were one or two cases like this, it would arm all the fuss. But note that so far this year, as I said, is becoming a recurrent phenomenon. And sad, because this causes disappointment of organizing choral, and ultimately we will end up running out of places to sing.

Is it too much to ask that those responsible for directing a choir are to culminate in a little more responsible? I hope not.

Sorry for the bad vibes, and good luck for the poor girl who sent the mail from the start,

Little Italian Cigars

is Gardel, Lepera and guitarists

time ago (well, once again) not write anything, as any surfer will be able to look boring. Many comments received requesting information about the whereabouts of this type, and not to be a few who think they share housing with Seguro (the leave thinking, hehe ...). Fortunately, it has not been.

Really, the only thing that has happened is that a fact was not motivated to return to pounding the keys. But oh, miracle! Finally the skies have wanted my feet came up with a sick trigger cash. And here I am.

The fact itself has nothing to do with choral music, but well worth mentioning and you'll see why. We were sharing an evening
interdisciplinary arts (drama and music) with the New Residence grupete Vocal, and one of the artists who had really left us all with his mouth open and begging for more and more encores.

is Ofidio Dellasoppa (al trocen) y Las Cuerdas Flojas Dellasoppa snake was , who usually appears accompanied by the loose strings (Anímides Of Bace and Elysium Fields) in a show in the style of Gardel, Barbieri and Aguilar ... but full of surprises. Bueh, and to read the names, you will have noticed that this is not a tango show too attached to traditional patterns. But not too far away.

Dellasoppa (formerly known as Silvio Cattaneo, part of the show "Glories Porteñas ") is revealed above all as an accomplished guitarist, as he related (yes, I spoke as if such a thing as devilish drew plenty of chords on the six strings ) his companions were unable to accompany him "for budgetary reasons." Yes, no euphemisms. Once
unexplained absences, became part of his delight with hilarious repertoire, with gems like "Peddlefeet" (the typical salesman speech up of a group, offering the most unusual goods), "Back Carlitos" (which tells what has been done for several of our glories, with an unexpected final), "The Fuler" (a pretty unconditional love), "In Honor Permit" (confessions in bulk), "A Brief History of Tango" (a compendium enough completito), "Garufa" (but translated into English), and several more. I dunno, must have been about 10 or 12 tangos and milongas, but all we flew.

is to attend a presentation of snakes is to be permanently Dellasoppa trying not to die laughing, if only not to miss the next joke. And it is hard, eh. Snake throws a gag after another, all referring to the classic tics of tango and tango culture, with an enviable sparkle and indisputable good taste. I can guarantee that only Les Luthiers I laughed like that, and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. Whoever

found not to have more to attend this Thursday 25 at Bar Tuñón, Maipú 849, Capital, where snake will be presented on time (I suppose, bah) at 21 hours. Right there can get their CD " Tangus bonaerensis " which also can be purchased online by following the link, the modest price of 19 bucks (a pesito unless the input value to Tuñón, leaving 20). Taking into account that it has 19 tracks, it is easy to see that we are paying them $ 1 .- per track, a very reasonable price. No, I do not charge commission for the goat, it's just that I feel good giving it a little handle to an artist (or group of artists) really worth it and something else.

Well, maybe on Thursday I walk by. Who is turned on?
See,

Johann
