I’m sending my sincerest wishes to all of you for the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope the day brings new family memories, but also a sense of gratitude for all that life affords us.

One of the things I am most grateful for is you and this band. WSW has become such an important part of my life and I am thankful for your participation.

Remember that we rehearse at Port Chester on Monday night. Please sort your music in your folder, with all the old Fall music on one side so Nancy can collect it quickly. We will read through everything on the Winter program. If you can practice some of the technical sections of Hackett and Elgar, it would be time well spent to make the rehearsal as successful as possible.

See you Monday. In the meantime — eat, nap, repeat.
