Good morning from Collegeville,
And a clear frosty morning it is. Tis the season! The season for family, friends, food and fun. My favorite part of celebrating the holidays is the music. A “must see” for me is the annual George Maurer Holiday Show at the Paramount Theater. The lead vocalist, Ann Michels, is always booked in shows on weekends, so for many years now the event has been held on a Monday evening. This year the show is next Monday December 14th at 7:30 PM. Tickets can be had at 320-259-LINE
If you have never had a chance to go and you would like a taste, simply go to www.YouTube and type in George Maurer. You will find the video “A Mean One Mr Grinch” You can find more information on all of the George Maurer holiday show at www.georgemaurer.com
On a serious note, if you know someone that is using a laptop and is in the habit of using their index finger to move the cursor using the red button and their thumb to operate the left click and the right click, buy them an external mouse. My tendonitis is not responding to physical therapy and it is no fun. An IBM Think Pad should come with a warning label.
The show this week is live from The Town Hall in the heart of New York’s theater district. Special guests include world renowned performer Yo-Yo Ma and the Assad Brothers join forces for a hot trio performance that is sure to keep out the cold, while the vocal styling’s of jazz greats Inga Swearingen and Connie Evingson will add fuel to the fire. The usual cast of characters will set the tone for a holiday in Lake Wobegon.
