Updates and a journal entry |
Hey Friends,
Some updates:1) Looks like Arizona won't be happening. Work schedules (time) and paychecks (money) don't seem to be looking fondly at that idea. Plus, I need to see my family in Oregon so... Posted by on Fri, 02 May 2008 09:10:00 GMT |
The solo at the opera... |
Friends,
As I'm sure you know, I started rehearsals last month for the San Francisco Lyric Opera's production of Puccini's La Boheme, for which I'm singing in the chorus. A recent development was the ... Posted by on Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:19:00 GMT |
Benjamin Francis in an opera?! |
Hey friends,
No, I'm still not dead. Last week, on Friday, I had my first voice lesson in years with the very talented Anja Strauss (http://www.anjastrauss.com), in preparation for application to the ... Posted by on Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:25:00 GMT |

California, here I am! |
Hey Friends,
I am now living in Berkeley, CA, and loving it. It's beautiful, clean, close to San Francisco, and filled with things to write songs and stories and poems about. Even the public library c... Posted by on Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:26:00 GMT |
Packing things. |
Friends, This evening I realized how daunting it is packing things up to move out of a place you've been living in for almost 16/19ths of your life. I stood at the entrance to my (absolutely bombshel... Posted by on Tue, 30 May 2006 00:31:00 GMT |
