Absolutely. We didn't promise an hour; the fact that they allocate time
in units of an hour isn't our fault. Heck, we reserve the right to
chicken out at the last minute -- though I certainly hope we won't!

I have taught it to audiences in the past. It's a lot easier with an
audience of singers, which we'll have. It's also a lot easier when the
chorus is solid on it, which we may well be by that time... especially
if someone is willing to play metronome. (I have a pair of cat's-paws --
wooden "spoons" -- which make a nice sharp click...)

It isn't... but ...

That might make a lot more sense, and I agree that we want that in our
repertoire.



Caveat: More furnishings, and all my books and records and tools
(probably a ton and a half of stuff, all told), are arriving Tuesday.
The place may be a mess. But I'll try to make sure rehearsal space is
kept open.
