A long-time reader of this blog would know that my childhood portraits may have displayed a streak of... independence.
Behold. Another photo displaying my childhood insolence.
But dear reader, this is where it all began. In Kindergarten I was cast as The Virgin Mary, and made my stage debut singing "Little Donkey". This was a big deal in a five year old's life. A leading role, setting the path for a lifetime of dreams.
However, as you may glean from the photographic evidence, I was displeased with my co-star. I thought my childhood crush Scott Wozniak was worthy of Joseph's role, but it was Anish Kanungo who won the part. (And who Mr. Google has informed me has become a doctor. Well done, Anish!)
So it goes in life.
Though I have no appearances as the Virgin this year, I will be singing a bucket load of Christmas songs over the next few days. The band and I have been hard at work learning every Jingle Claus Merry Sleighbell Marshmallow Christmas tune there is going. Though many of our performances are of the private party variety – email belleplaine@belleplainemusic.com to book yours today! – I recommend that early birds head down to CBC Regina on Friday from 6 to 9 am for The Morning Edition's open house. You can support their Comfort and Joy campaign for the Food Bank of Saskatchewan by doing so, and that's a very good thing. There's lots of fun reasons to attend: a CBC prize wheel, kids craft table, hot chocolate and coffee... plus it's free!
May your heart be light, friends.
