Good rainy morning from Collegeville,   I heard thunder for the first time this year yesterday.  According to the weather man, we have not had thunder since last October.  Spring cannot be too far away.  The forecast calls for temperatures in the 50’s for next week.  I love it.  

The wrist is still not good so the doctor ordered an MRI.   Now I know what torture is like.  The angle was bad and the pressure point on my arm seemed to cut off the circulation.  They give you a panic button, but you know that if you push it you have to start all over again.  They provide you with headphones so that you can listen to music and the operator can give you words of encouragement.  It seems to me that she said “only a few more minutes” quite a few times. I was in there for almost 30 minutes.  I made it through it and I hope that I don’t have to do it again.

 This week is pledge week on public television and on Monday night they showed a documentary about a group named Young@Heart, a choral group of older folks that perform contemporary music.  It was very inspirational.  Music is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that we have been given.  If you want to see for yourself, simply go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4kqfYsOe4M   

The show this week is another sampler show featuring bits and pieces from two shows performed at the Fitzgerald Theater last fall.  Special guests include singer-songwriter Neko Cade, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Patty Loveless plus Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele singing “Baby I Love You”.  Enjoy the show.
