Dream Theater, Eventim Apollo
Yeah, this happened. I saw Dream Theater play Images and Words in its entirety with A Change of Seasons for an encore. In fact, it was just the beginning of possibly the most entertaining week I've ever had. I contrast it with the same week this year which found me broke and moping about my flat in Nuneaton.

100 Voices of Gospel, Lyceum
I can't imagine seeing this in a Southern church. It was like a Broadway version of a gospel church. It kinda reminded me of the Christmas number at the end of The Meaning of Life. I say 'Broadway' version but it's really a 'West End' version because every show I've seen in the West End is done in this style. Thank you Melinda.

Rehearsal for Entertaining Angels, Wanstead
Unbeknown to me, Carrolle had put my name forward as a possible "Bardy" in the play by Richard Everett. I read for and got the part. I had one drama class in high school and that was enough to teach me the lesson that acting is more work than it looks. But, it also impressed on me that acting was to be taken seriously and I think that's what got me the part.

Ex Cathedra, Cadogan Hall
This was good. 12 voices and such beautiful pieces. It took me back to the World Choir Games in 2012 where I overdosed on such great choral performances that I'm almost ruined for them now. http://www.cadoganhall.com/event/ex-cathedra-170426/. Thank you again, Melinda.

Community Gospel Choir Spring Concert, Wesleyan Community Center, Leytonstone
You can put whatever you like in the program. I just need that one Stevie Wonder number to be happy. Emma liked them so much that she joined the choir and was in their next performance.

Evensong, Peterborough Cathedral
Featuring Tippet, Vaughn-Williams, and Byrd again. I would be back here by next weekend but I would be walking from Stamford. I think this was my favorite two weeks in the UK. I've never gotten to see, hear, and do quite so much in such a short span of time since.
