Oy Vey.

I've got a new entry in the 'Be careful what you ask for because you might actually get it' sweepstakes. 

I auditioned, and begged, and even prayed a bit to get spot in The Mid-Columbia Master Singers...and now that I have one, the hard work starts.

For the first time in, well...decades, I am on the hook to learn new music.  In German.  In just over 6 weeks.

Gulp. 

This particular piece of music is over an hour long...and if I stop to think about having to learn it from scratch, I brake out in a cold sweat.  One of those things you just need to take a deep breath on, and tackle a little bit at a time.
