Re: “Don't forget to post the video of his show. I don't think I have missed one yet. Possible, but not probable. He is very talented.”

Thank you.

College performances are bit different from high school performances, and word tends to get back to the instructors if somebody records something that they aren't supposed to. With rare exception, none of the music performances are supposed to be recorded. Copyrights…

That said, I did record an entire one hour 50 minute performance of Bernstein's Mass (Leonard Bernstein composed West Side Story) in October. It's one act! Everyone's bladder was about to burst by the time it ended...

I'm still not sure what to do with the recording. It would be embarrassing for him if his instructor were to find out I'd captured the whole thing.

Perhaps I'll post it briefly... in which case I'll be sure to let you know. It has some really interesting scenes, but much of it is a sleeper. (There's a reason you probably haven't heard of it.)

Re: “JAPAN? Did you ever say why? If so, I missed it. Regardless of why he is going to Japan, it will be nice for him to "rest up" before leaving for his studies in Japan. I apologize that I do not remember your mentioning that.”

The "why" is that he's been fascinated with Japan and Japanese (the language) since Middle School. He was teaching himself the language for years. You might recall that he arranged, directed and performed 'Simple and Clean' (from a pretty popular game called 'Kingdom of Hearts) in 2016. At the end, he sings in Japanese: http://youtu.be/vzgE5_3zK-U (Get this: It's 13-part harmony He worked on the arrangement (sheet music for all the parts) for two months! !)

Why Japanese? I'm not sure. He considers it a beautiful language.


Re: “Seriously, I have been following him for years. Whenever you gents post something about your children, grandchildren or other family members, I do remember.”

That's really kind of you to say. Thanks!

NOOOOoooo, total bummer. That is some schedule for year-end semester.

Thanksgiving is November 22nd, and Joey's semester ends on December 7th. He has a concert that night. Then he'll have finals the next week, ending December 15th.
-------------------
Around December 3rd or 4th, I'll drive to Charlottesville and stay about two weeks, seeing his show and bringing him home.

Don't forget to post the video of his show. I don't think I have missed one yet. Possible, but not probable. He is very talented.
----------------------
The good news is that his next semester will be in Japan. Since their semesters aren't in synch with ours, it will start in mid (or late) March and last until early August. So we'll have him here from mid-December until then. That will be nice.

JAPAN? Did you ever say why? If so, I missed it.
Regardless of why he is going to Japan, it will be nice for him to "rest up" before leaving for his studies in Japan. I apologize that I do not remember your mentioning that.

Thanks for asking...

Seriously, I have been following him for years. Whenever you gents post something about your children, grandchildren or other family members, I do remember.

Truth be known, I am stalking him, LOLOLOL.

Oh noo, I just saw my first ad for a Christmas tree.
