What a whirlwind of a week. So glad I have today off!
I got to Nashville on Sunday night and began rehearsals at 9:30 the next morning. Typical rehearsals are 8 hours a day, Sunday through Friday. There are 6 shows to learn, each with its own theme. I learned Postcards (a show with songs from around the world) in the first two days. My songs include Somewhere My Love, Oh Danny Boy, Santa Luccia, and The Sound of Music. I then started work on our American Pie show, including Good Morning Baltimore, Kansas City, Blue Kentucky Girl, and By The Time I Get To Phoenix. We finished that show yesterday.
Four more to go! ....in 7 days...
Tomorrow I'm learning Showstoppers, my songs including Everything's Coming Up Roses, Home (from the Wiz), Popular, Think of Me, and a Les Mis Medley. At least I already know all of these songs! Following that, I still have the Latin, Swing, and Disco shows to learn.
Last night I was able to go to downtown Nashville for the first time. Despite going to college in the south for 4 years, I think that was my first real exposure to "country". Lots of cowboy hats.
Hey Elvis!
Today's agenda is to take care of this incredibly inconvenient Chinese Visa thing. Then maybe shopping for things I didn't know to pack. Or just staying in bed and relaxing while I still can. Yeah, maybe the latter.
