From Paul:

Hi guys!

Thanks for a GREAT weekend!  I couldn’t have been happier or more proud of what the Commodores accomplished.  (Did we get a visual DVD of the performance?  I have the audio CD.  If we’ve got a DVD, can we get a player/projector?)

Here’s the plan for Tuesday:

7:00 vocal warm-ups
7:15 Winter Wonderland
7:30 White Christmas
7:45 We Wish You a Merry Christmas
8:05 stretch break
8:10 Christmas Waltz
8:35 Jingle Bell Rock
8:45 B/B
9:00 Kneeling at the Manger
9:15 Twelve Days of Christmas
9:30 Polka Medley

9:45 Puttin On the Ritz
9:50 Silent Night
9:58 KAS/KTWWS

Whew!  I know the break/business might be longer because of Harmony Foundation visitor….we’ll play that as we need to.  See you then!

From Doc:

Chord-Inator deadline is Thursday, October 29, but I won't be angry if you get your material in tomorrow (Wednesday).

Now that you have had a few extra days to completely assimilate the specifics of Riser Etiquette I know our guest from Harmony Foundation will be suitably impressed as he observes your exhibition of the ultimate in chorus discipline.  Doc

Please remember our “injured reserves” with your cards, calls and prayers.

Our condolences go to Rodney Hall and his wife Doris in the passing of her mother.  Shirley Retter is feeling a lot better now and can eat more comfortably again.  She can have visitors if they’re not dealing with things like colds.  Lance Johnson had a shoulder replacement last Thursday.  He is home from the hospital and will be beginning therapy.  He’s still on some pain killer but he sounded great on the phone.  Joe Bifulk had a hip replacement yesterday.  I don’t have info from him at this time.  I was unable to reach Loren Wuttke before print time.  Please remember him and Paul Wigley in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep me informed about our sick and ailing members.
