Peter Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I bet Minny Sota is really getting ready for the big day tomorrow! Go Philly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes. No one seems to care about the game, but all of the other events are really rolling -- parties, concerts, BBQs, carnivals, festivals... Pats or Eagles? Who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard two celebratory? shots just after the Eagles won. Tracinski is predicting the death of football because of damage to the head and he may be right. Pop Warner football is on the way out. And High School football may be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Whoops! Didn't see these responses. Just as I score a Minnesota performance, the city is in the news for another, double 'scoring' event! FWIW, I don't follow sports at all. I don't mind. And thanks to Jonathan--even though I was horrified at the name-calling and insults in that so-called 'Love' thread that even led to a banning! I will soon post a recording of an earlier performance of the song that took place in Austin. Edited February 11, 2018 by Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 "Horrified"? Yeah, O-land has gone soft. Infected by snowflakism. Tender Sensitive Susies and Sobbing Sandras where hardy Roarks, Galts and Taggarts used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Here is audio of a previous performance in Austin (I wrote it for soprano, but a tenor sang it here): https://soundcloud.com/oneounceopera/fsoas2017-2-3?in=oneounceopera/sets/2nd-annual-fresh-squeezed-ounce-of-art-song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tender Sensitive Susies and Sobbing Sandras where hardy Roarks, Galts and Taggarts used to be. I wholeheartedly 2nd that. ARI having been hijacked by fakers hostile to Rand’s legacy didn’t help, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodney Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 The concert has taken place! Of course, I wasn't there. I wonder if there will be any newspaper review, as there was for the Austin performance of this song by One Ounce Opera. Opera on Tap, which hosted this show, did make this announcement later the same evening: Opera on Tap - Twin Cities was attending OOT Twin Cities Presents: New Arias On Tap at honey mpls. March 11 at 11:54pm · Minneapolis, MN, United States · A huge thank you to all of the composers, singers, librettists, and our stellar accompanist Emily Urban for being a part of our New Arias on Tap performance tonight. What a show!!! Bravi!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Success! I asked the singer, Aliese Hoesel, how the performance went and she replied: Hello, Rodney! Yes, the performance went quite well! The audience was full of interested and appreciative art goers! I got lots of positive feedback on your piece from people after the show. Your work was a hit! Thank you for the opportunity to sing it! Aliese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
