Photo Hunt: Empty . . . and I’m up, up and away!

Yes, music lovers, that is an empty suitcase. And my mission this evening is to fill it with all the things I need to take to New York City. The washer and dryer are humming away (washing the kids’ clothes for next week, as well as some of my own) and I have piles of things stacked around the house ready to put in the suitcase after I check them off my packing list.Next: Time to practice my music since we have our send-off concert tomorrow and then leave on Sunday morning for New York City.

The house and stage in this photo are empty:

But they won’t be on Wednesday evening when my fellow musicians and I take that stage and play our hearts out!Here’s the program:

An American Elegy
