Cover of "Sing Your Way Home"

This song is in the Primary Children's book of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I wanted to record it as an introduction to "Sing Your Way" and new song list I am organizing.  It will include songs I h ave sung throughout my life in the shower, or while driving to keep myself awake late at night.  I think in leaving this for posterity others can appreciate a bit who I am.  The songs for the most part will be a Capella as that is how I sing in the shower and the  car.

Miranda Preparing for Broadway Review

Mirnda is rehearsing for "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" from My fair Lady and then "I Enjoy Being a Girl" from Flower Drum.

Broadway Review This Coming Saturday

I think this is the fifth year of the Broadway Review (Maybe the fourth.)  I am singing the song I song the first year, "Bring Him Home."  We have plenty of talent and have music from Chicago, Frozen, Wicked, Les Miserable, Phantom of the Opera, Finding Neverland, South Pacific, Funny Girl, Adams Family and I am sure some I have left out.  There are many talented people between Tracy and Manteca.  If you come, you will be impressed.

Jeremy (my son) is working designing the sets and helping with the lights.  He and Miranda (my daughter) have been working hard, along with Greg Anderson.  Christine Papworth has been directing again, and we have professional sound system from Stockton.  Come and enjoy, and the price is right, gratis.  We will even feed you at the evening performance.

Manteca Stake Broadway Review: "On This Night of a Thousand Stars"

Saturday, Sept 13 I had the privilege of participating in the Manteca Stake Broadway Review.  There are many talented people in our stake, and many complicated performances.  The program attests to a wide range of interest in musicals.  The program also documents most of those who helped us.  Without them we could have done nothing.  Sister Amanda Porter helped me learn a couple steps so I could try some Tango.  Sister Papworth directed again.  

I think the performance of the night was Thalia Anderson from the Tracy ward singing from Wicked as Elphaba ''defying Gravity."  I could actually see her flying with her energy and the way she sang the song.  It was cool.  Also Sister MaCuire from our ward did an excellent job singing "Nothing" from Chorus Line.  

We did a group number of "One Day More" form Les Miserables.  This year someone sang "I Dreamed a Dream"  There was another group number from Grease, "Summer Nights".  It was mostly members of our ward: The Men Mike Brown sang Danny, Tyler Papworth (now married and living in Union Ward), Jonathan Porter and Craig Hokanson.  Tyler's new wife sang the Sandy part, Amanda Porter, Sarah MaGuire, Misty Segall (now in Ripon Ward) and Lisa Stephenson.  There are many talented people from our stake.  It was pretty fun.  It was a fun night.
