Hello all. I would like to start with a great BIG thank you to all of you for your support through my car crisis. I hope to never go through such a thing again. I know why thing- I will never again go to a car dealer without checking them out online first. Most of you know that it all worked out. After 3 days of calling, I finally convinced a receptionist that she had better listen to me or her boss might spend his Thanksgiving in jail. Oh, and I was very nice about the whole thing. I was aware that it was not her boss's doing, and it certainly was not hers. So, I was calm but firm. He called us back and true to his word about a week later, the money was in the bank and the account was closed.
So, onto the next thing. My little guy's Christmas concert. It was very nice. I have included a pic of him with several of his co-singers?? Several of them are also my students. I also have one of Eric performing his "solo." I am considering getting him an agent ;)
The pics aren't great- but you get the idea.
