I heard an interview this morning on the Diane Rehm show. Guest Diane Keaton was talking about her love for music; how she couldn’t play music in her own house because the effect on her was often too intense, too overwhelming.
“Don’t you think?” Keaton asked Rehm, sounding more than ever like Annie Hall.
“I love to listen to it in my car,” Rehm answered.

I am laughing because the North Carolina Symphony conductor, Grant Llewellyn, has just joked that I am about to stand there and sing The Gathering with the orchestra for our first rehearsal.
He had the last laugh, he wasn’t joking!
It’s really happening. And tickets are going fast. So please, if you plan to come, order your tickets now. There will be sniffles and laughter, predominately.

From my front porch, I can almost see the downtown pharmacy where William Sydney Porter (pen name, O. Henry) worked at his Uncle’s drug store.
The writer is among the most read authors in the world, after Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe. Among his quotes:
“There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.”
This month the new arts magazine in the Piedmont – named after the Greensboro-born writer – featured a story on my new project, “The Gathering: A Winter’s Tale in Six Songs.”
If you see the free magazine around town, please pick up a copy. It’s put together by a talented group of writers, designers, and photographers in the Piedmont. It’s also a perfect sized-magazine; stays steady on your lap with a cup of coffee.
Read the article online, or pick up a copy around O. Henry’s hometown.
