My industrious voice student has a lot more discipline than I did at her age. I was too busy voguing, working out to Jane Fonda, and watching Pee wee Herman at her age. She has been enjoying the met operas at the movie theater. She most recently very much enjoyed “Barber of Seville”. Eva Paternoster had the coolest thing to say ahout the Rosina which gave me pause. She said “every word that she sang had life.” NOW THAT’S a keeper phrase for the vocal performance archives. I love this especially because Eva didn’t go to college for music; she just has great innate instincts. #voiceteacher #LifeLongLearning #barberofseville #metopera #akintsucrooner

It’s Route 66 week with the littles. I love exploring the mother road. I am grateful to have had a chance to drive Route 66 from Vegas to Chicago with Cara Shlau Scott Lazerwith Morgan Iskovits in the summer of 1998. We made cassette recordings of our journey that I need to dig out. I distinctly remember Cara telling me that there will be no “whee” as I drove a bit briskly in AZ. I can hear her now saying I have too many tchotchkes lol. #route66 #roadtrip

Here’s hoping my dad continues to feel the energetic vibrations from beyond of the impact he made during his life. I would often need to reassure him that he did indeed make a tremendous impact with his students, church choirs, and as a singer. I dont subscribe to the erroneous belief that there is only one way of “making it”. Our paths may look different but at the end of the day, we are doing the best we can given our conditions. Thanks for sharing Wendy C. Steinman Nawara. ❤️🙏🏻 #impact #legacy #makingit

My Pride
E. Perryman 6.2.2025

I like being adventurous and taking risks.

I am spicy, admire intellect, and enjoy wit.

Dad and I are similar; I miss him every day.

Mom and I differ; I love her with all my heart.

I like being physically strong and feel deeply.

I love motivating & instilling pride in students.

I love all that is shiny, colorful, and animal print.

Performing and creating makes me come alive.

I never thought I’d have a love like Elizabeth.

#Pride #beingme

Nerves, excitement, worry, and fun.
New experiences, payoff, big trip is done.
Memories to store, sparkles spun.

Below are memorial day greetings by four United States presidents.

“It is the most solemn American holiday, meaning you must send a more thoughtful message and not the unsuitable ‘Happy Memorial Day’ greetings.”

Twice we have elected President 45 & 47 to the highest office of the land. To this we’ve come. Our current emotional landscape is mind boggling and shameless.

#MemorialDay #UnitedStates #USPresidents

PRESIDENT 32 Franklin D. Roosevelt:
“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.

PRESIDENT 35 John F. Kennedy:
“As we express our gratitude, we
must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.”

PREISIDENT 43 George W. Bush:
“The day will come when no one is left who knew them. But we can honor their sacrifice. And we must. This is the mission of our time. Our memorial to them must not be just a day when we pause and pray; it must be a daily commitment to act, to come together, to be worthy of the price that was paid.”

PRESIDENT 45 & 47 Donald J. Trump
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN – ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
