Great Weekend in the Northwest
What a great weekend in the Northwest! The Salem-Keizer Middle Schools All-City Honor Choir was fantastic, something I knew in the first few minutes of the very first rehearsal. Each singer was polite, eager, prepared, motivated, bright and fun! They have wonderful, dedicated teachers and supportive administrations. Sincere thanks to David Loney, who coordinated and Kerry Burtis, who hosted the event, and Adam Robinson, an able and collaborative accompanist. While there, I enjoyed breakfast at Bob's Red Mill, a really good capuccino at Portland's Stumptown coffee, lunch at a few of the many funky food trucks, a walk in the serene and wonderful Japanese garden in a light drizzle, and a quick browse at Powell's Bookstore, one of the largest and most interesting and varied I've seen. Really needed an afternoon there with a cuppa Stumptown coffee...
