Fun at the Faculty Gala

I made my UE debut at the annual Faculty Gala. It was great fun to sing Norina's aria with an appreciative and responsive audience. But I was overwhelmed by the variety of the program: harp, euphonium, guitar, woodwind quartet with harpsichord, brass quintet, sexy Piazzolla for violin, cello and piano. I am excited about my new instrumentalist colleagues. Still I can't escape Shorter. A Shorter grad from the 1970s was in attendance. A biology major turned Episcopalian pastor, this gentleman from Owensboro, KY was there to remind me of my former colleagues.
