Holiday line-up

This was a particular busy holiday season filled with all sorts of wonderful performances. Before we move on to 2009 - it's worth mentioning that "Deck the Halls" at the the impressive downtown Walt Disney Concert Hall. Song sheets were distributed for the sing along and it could not have been more fun and festive. The best part was the entire hall belting out the 12 days of Christmas on their "assigned" days. The music center offers free children's performances with music, song and story telling through their World City program. For more info go to www.musiccenter.org/education.

We also saw Fiddler on the Roof which was very well cast and well done. Traaaa-di-tioooon! That was at the South Bay Civic Light Orchestra where we later caught Nun-sense the Holiday version. Original one woman cast. Funny as all heck and good clean fun. Highly recommend that as well. The one woman Sister act does good deeds and collects money for the retiring nuns. Did you know that in 20 years there will be no nuns in the US? This was a shocker. I have fond memories of the nuns at my Catholic elementary school.
