No Arias Today

Hello everybody!

The sunshine has finally returned to Salzburg this week, after almost all rain last week. Julia, unfortunately didn't do very well with the dampness, and caught what she thought was just a cold. It's unfortunately developed into something quite a bit more serious, and as of this moment I've almost completely lost my voice.

Some may remember a certain singer who traveled to Greenville, SC her junior year in high school for a singing competition, only to awaken on the morning of the competition unable to utter a single sound. This story is eerily similar... Let's not make it a sequel, shall we?

I've seen a pharmacist here, and been given some medication, and I have plenty of tea. I'm trying to take it easy (anyone who knows me well knows how difficult it is for me to slow down). I'm being well-taken care of, but this isn't as easy to shake as I thought.

Please pray, if you think of it, that this will pass quickly, and I'll be able to continue my voice lessons. We have two lessons a week, plus two to three coachings. In addition, because singing is such an athletic process (one can get "out of shape" from not practicing, just like one can get "out of shape" from not working out for a while), I'm concerned about my upcoming recital. Prayers, please!

Thank you! Love to you all!
