A Singular Sensation!

Hi Everyone! 

Over the past couple days, I created a video of me singing One (yes… singular sensation…) from A Chorus Line.

I was able to get my coworkers, a few fellow Worthington Chorus members, the guy that works down the hall, and my dance instructor at Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest to participate.  It’s been so much fun!  It seems that everyone knows how to do the chorus line kick… or it can be easily taught!

Learn a little more about my music background (or learn that I have one!), watch the video and cast your vote! (One vote per email address… so if you have more than one email address, please use that one too!)

Please submit your vote by Sunday, May 31st!

Many thanks!

P.S. If you are in Columbus, the Worthington Chorus’ June Show is called “An Evening with the Stephens – The Music of Stephen Schwartz and Stephen Sondheim”  Performance dates are June 19 & 20 at 8pm and June 21st and 2:30pm.  I hope you can come!

Be Kind… BCC Your Email Lists!

I received a forwarded email from a friend earlier, which had been forwarded twice before it had reached me.

Other than the message that my friend wanted me to see, there was along list of email addresses. 85 email addresses to be exact. The majority of the email list is from Abercrombie’s corporate office, and there is also an extensive list of architecture firms and design studios.

The person that originated the email should have BCC’d everyone on his list. It was great that he wanted to promote his own work, which was not actually connected to Abercrombie, but the non-Abercrombie people on that list probably would not want to share their own personal or work contact information with a mass audience. It might be safe to assume that a number of those firms and studios probably compete with each other, too.

I recently sent out an email letting people I know about the TV segment that I was going appear in. I sent the email to myself and BCC’d 25 people to protect the recipients’ privacy so that something like this would not occur.

Please! Please! Please!
If you are going to send out an email to a large group of people, protect the privacy of your friends and BCC the people in your list.
