AN EVENING RAINBOW ... Saturday January 28th, 2006 a rainbow appeared splendid in all its colors celebrating an event that occurred at Harcourt United Church on Dean Avenue in Guelph. The event was the SOLD OUT Spring Concert of the Rainbow Chorus of Waterloo / Wellington. The event with over 500 people in attendance was the largest crowd ever at the church. The first half was of lighter fair culminating in a chorus of New York New York where the choir is headed this February to perform at Carnegie Hall. The second half was a dress rehearsal of the Carnegie Hall Performance of the AIDS Requiem, "When We No Longer Touch". The entire performance was remarkable considering most the choir is made up of singers from the community who all have regular full time jobs. The accompanying four soloists and musicians helped bring the work to life. The recital ended with a rousing 15 minute standing ovation. I cannot say enough about the evening and the dedication of the choir as they have performed at numerous benefits throughout the community as well. Most of the members reside in the Guelph, Kitchener and surrounding areas. Some come every week from as far as Mt. Forest and London to participate in song. Kudos to the board of directors and artistic director, Robert Miller for all their hard work. You have indeed outdone yourselves and should be very PROUD. Who says we have to go to Toronto to have the opportunity to listen to Carnegie Hall caliber music? Good luck on your trip to Carnegie Hall in NYC. BREAK A LEG. (Sumitted by A.O'Ball)

THE ART OF SCARF TYING ... SOHO STYLE ...

Christine Brad's friend discovered this NYC (SoHo) style when she purchased a new scarf while shopping in NYC ... and then after that everyone we saw ... both men and women were sporting this fashion look ... funny how you don't notice the little things until someone points it out ... basically you make a loop with the scarf and pull the ends through the loop ... this allows you to adjust the tightness around your neck accordingly ... to suit the weather ...

NEW YORK LADIES ...

FEAR OF HEIGHTS . . . NOT ANY MORE ...
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING ... HERE I COME!

As far as my trip went ... WOW... not only was the evening on the Carnegie Hall stage something to remember but the sites, sounds and spirit of New York were fantastic. It was a chance for me to get to know the folks in the chorus better and enjoy their company. One of the higlights was a trip up the Empire State building. Now one may say of course it was because of the wonderful view at the top...yes that is true but for me it was getting over my fear of heights. I'd like to thank Judy, Brenda and Moe for their support in that area....could not have done it without them. In fact one of the photo's is of the four of us up there.....whew I made it. The trip to the Metropolitan Museum ----well so much to see in a limited time frame but what I did view was breath taking.

And of course the museums . . .

A SPECIAL SURPRIZE MEMORY ... I had left Bill back at home in Toronto. This picture was taken just minutes after Bill surprised me by showing up in the lobby - he said he couldn't miss seeing me on the stage of Carnegie Hall! If you look closely, you'll see my eyes are red - I was shedding a lot of tears of happiness. Talk about a romantic moment.......he is really something!! ( I was completely surprised, but it seems that most of the chorus knew Bill was going to surprise me and they all managed to keep it quiet!)Jon.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES ...

They were everywhere in the big apple. Available in all the little eateries where one grabs a quick bite to eat. I had a couple with coffee one morning. Yummy. (Andrew)

Here's the recipe . . .

4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup boiling water

A NOTE FROM DIANE KILBY . . .

"Artistic Director Robert G. Miller. (This is the picture of Bob that was supposed to appear in the programme at Carnegie Hall)

There are a lot of people to thank for this experience: The folk at Mid America Productions who produced the concert; Dr. Timothy Seelig of the Turtle Creek Chorale who invited us to sing and who directed the concert; our director Bob Miller who pushed us; Mary Ann Weber who made our transportation arrangements, Andrew O'Ball our games director on the bus (going to and coming from NYC) and our blogger extraordinaire, Harcourt United Church, everyone who generously donated to us and most of all to the Rainbow Chorus members who worked so hard to learn When We No Longer Touch by memory despite the pull of children and spouses and jobs and all of the other daily demands of our everyday lives. A huge thank you to all of you. Diane.

REHEARSALS ... I think my favourite lasting memory of NYC will be the rigorous and thoroughly enjoyable rehearsals with Tim Seelig. I learned SO much and laughed (and cried).
I also giggle frequently over Bonnie not being able to get a drink on the cruise despite being the mom of two kids. Those underage drinkers eh?
Diane Kilby.

KUDOS to Diane for all her extra efforts and dedicated work on behalf of the choir while in New York City. What a trooper! Thank you Disie . . .

SCARF TYING ... Tying your scarf the New York way ... Christine bought a scarf in New York and was shown this new way to tie it ... afterwards we noticed that both men and women all over the city were supporting this new look ... another New York memory ...

2006-02-25T01:11:00.000-08:00

A NEW YORK CITY PROPOSAL . . . my favorite memory of NYC was asking Brad to be my life partner in our room at the Grand Hyatt NYC (Room 2623) under the shadow of the Chrysler Building. And of course him accepting. He is a great guy and I am very lucky to have him in my life. The rings are from one of the four North American TeNo stores (SoHo, South Beach, Las Vegas and Hollywood). They are made in Germany and are stainless steel with ceramic and diamond. Andrew.

BROADWAY ... the great white way ...

I have many great memories of New York. One of them is lining up for tickets to a Broadway play at the TKTS booth in Times Square. Disie asked the ticket seller, “What’s cheap?” and he replied as a typical New Yorker “Everybody in this line!”. I saw my first Broadway play, “Woman in White”.

We visited the Empire State Building and of course the World Trade Center site. We took the uptown tour bus but wouldn’t get off at any of the attractions. It was too cold!! Betsy the tour guide said we should be used to the cold living in Canada! I loved walking through Grand Central Station very early in the morning. Most of all I loved the rehearsals. They were very intense but a lot of fun. We laughed and we cried. I learned so much in those six hours and what a thrill stepping on to the stage of Carnegie Hall with the wonderful tenors from Denver and Calgary all around me. Jan Baker.

2006-02-24T17:52:00.000-08:00

LITTLE ITALY ... My favorite memory of NYC was the night we ate in Little Italy at the first pizzaria opened in North America. It was to celebrate Brad preforming on stage at Carnegie Hall. The restaurant is on the National Historic Register and it still turns out delicious pies the neopolitian way. Lombardi's thanks for a great meal celebrating a special event. Christine (Brad's guest).

2006-02-24T17:47:00.000-08:00

SARGES DELI ... My favorite memory of NYC was eating at the famous Sarges Deli. It's open 24 hours and was within walking distance to the hotel. What made it really special was after eating there for lunch and upon returning to the hotel later that night it was shown on an episode of Law and Order. How conincidental. The deli sandwiches were to die for along with the slaw, pickles and potato salad. Todd (Brad's guest).

Some history of the deli . . .
John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, England, is credited with inventing the sandwich, i.e., two slices of bread covering a filling of meat, fish, cheese, or some combination of ingredients. Though this honor may well be of doubtful authenticity, the term sandwich continues to find favor among English-speaking persons and other peoples. The sandwich, in one form or another, appears on the menu of virtually every restaurant and eating establishment in America, with the exception of certain Oriental restaurants where breads are simply and unfortunately, not part of the particular culture.

What is pizza, but an open sandwich of dough, cheese, tomato sauce, and condiments? What is a hot dog, but a split roll containing a tubular portion of meat? What is the pillar of the fast-food industry, but the almighty hamburger sandwich? There is little doubt that the sandwich is an object of near universal popularity. And among the most popular, in terms of how often they are consumed by Americans and visitors to America - according to the Food Marketing Institute - are the hamburger, and, in second place, the tuna fish salad sandwich. But, as Gertrude Stein may have remarked, "A hamburger is a hamburger, and a tuna on rye is a tuna on rye, but a sandwich is not a sandwich."

One sandwich in particular is the most venerated, the object of gastronomic love, the subject of contests to determine whose sandwich is best in a given year, and the standard by which New York style delis (delicatessens) are judged: The Hot Pastrami Sandwich. And the crown for the very best pastrami sandwich you can find in New York or anywhere else, rests in a place called SARGE's.

For more than 25 years, Abe Katz was a police sergeant attached to the Murray Hill precinct in New York City. Known throughout the neighborhood as "Sarge", he would frequently work the late shift until midnite, then look for somewhere to have dinner. Trouble was, few eating places remained open at that hour and those that did were of the short-order variety, rather than offering a complete meal.

After one too many fried egg sandwiches, Sarge decided on what to do after he retired from the force. he would open an all-night restaurant that provided good food and a friendly atmosphere, regardless of when people might enter. His own precinct, which was experiencing a boom in office and residential construction, seemed ideal for such a venture. And so, SARGE's Deli-Restaurant was established, in 1964, on New York's Third Avenue, between 36th and 37th Streets. It quickly became an East Side institution, noted for outstanding Jewish-style cooking and the fact that its doors were always open. Abe, his wife Rose, and his children Joyce and Lenny, ran the place. Today, Abe's grandson, Michael, is on hand to supervise the deli/restaurant, along with his mom Joyce and Uncle Lenny. All of them will treat you like family.

RICE PUDDING BAR ... My unique memory of New York City was the rice pudding bar on Spring Street in SoHo, "Rice to Riches" (off the eaten path) akin to the H2O bars in LA that swept North America and got everyone drinking bottled water. Well this is the next wave. Rice Pudding in 50 flavors similiar to Baskin Robbins. Served in funky bowls with multiple topping choices and not one person in the bar over 25. Anyhow enjoy the pictures of something new and maybe exciting. Brad.

PS I can't forget my purchase of a Dachshund Cake Server from Pylones in SoHo. Check out the picture ... reminds me of my dogs Paris and Berlin ...

EARLY ... SNOWY START ...

The trip started very early on Thursday the 16th of February. Departure was scheduled for 5:30 am. The bus was on time and waiting with members from communities north of Guelph (Fergus and Mt.Forest). Many chorus members and their guests were a little delayed as Guelph was experiencing a major winter storm. With CUPE workers on strike many of the city streets were not plowed. Every available taxi in the city was enroute to the departure point loaded with chorus members. None the less everyone made it to the Harcourt United Church parking lot. Once the bus was loaded and everyone settled we departed down Gordon Street / Highway 6 South. Just a little off schedule; but overshadowed by the fact we were on our way to the BIG APPLE. This was the culmination of a year of practice and fund raising. But finally the big day had come. New York city here we come! And as the saying goes: How do you get to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice.
