Lexi lent me a friend's "Phantom of the Opera" CD so that I could burn copies for us both. We've been duetting while waiting during rehearsals the past few days, and now we actually have the music. Today, in our Group Voice lesson, we all clustered around Jimmy, where I had called up the lyrics from a website, and Lexi, Katy Crow, and I all sang "The Point of No Return". Too fun.

For this reason, I've decided to lift part of my mild stigma against Andrew Lloyd Webber. Sure, he has his share of drivel, but I really love a lot of the Phantom music (and it's inspiring, too), so I hereby give the composer a gold star and a thumbs-up and an apology for all the jokes I've cracked about him. So yay. Just remember, Andrew Lloyd, if you want to avoid mockery, don't give songs titles like "Magical Lasso". Dear gravy. ::snorks::

Reminds me of my last summer at Maine Teen, when Tara and I sang "Angel of Music", the brief Christine/Meg duet, for a talent show. It was hilarious -- afterwards, a girl approached us and said that we had lovely voices, and that we were good enough to use microphones. After she left, Tara and I burst out laughing in our joint loathing of mics, especially in a space where they were wholly unnecessary. T'was amusing.

And that's all I have to say about that. And now I feel like recording snippets from Pratchett's "Masquerade". Muaha. ::t00bs off to find the book::
