Wordle
While reading the amazing musings of Michael Monroe and saw that he recently has become consumed with Wordles. This nifty little app generates a "word cloud" where the more a word is used, the bigger the word is. It is interesting to see how my word usage stacks up in this blog. Interestingly enough it came up randomly with "Gregory singing Puccini Opera" in quite a nice order, foreshadowing perhaps?

One thing I would like to point out is that all of my posts are signed with my name, I don't just refer to myself in the third person all the time. What would be nice is to have an actively generated word cloud of your blog so that every time someone visits they get a gist of the content. Clearly I need to step up the references to being a tenor.*

Piano-lizing
I just had a message from one of my music professors and vocal coach from college. This clearly outlines the constant war between instrumentalists and vocalists (or musicians and singers if you ask them).
"I just played a high C on my piano. It was quite easy and caused me almost no strain. I'm thinking of piano-lizing up to an F tomorrow."
Sometimes we just can't get a break.
