I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

This event took place on Sunday, March 24, 2024

This year's DCINY Total Vocal a cappella concert took place on March 24 at Carnegie Hall. The concert was as always conducted and arranged by Deke Sharon. Sharon is known for his work on the Pitch Perfect movies and In Transit, the first and only a cappella musical on Broadway to date, among other things. 

This year's special guests included Major Attaway, an actor best known for his turn as the Genie in the musical Aladdin; Kaila Mulladay, a beat boxer who appeared in Freestyle Love Supreme; and T3, an a cappella group made up of three seasoned Broadway performers. Musical numbers included Journey's Anyway You Want It, Billie Eilish and Phineas O'Connell's Nobody Like U, and Robert Lopez and Kristin Anderson Lopez's Into the Unknown. Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke provided an exhilarating finale. The event ended as usual with the performers and the audience joining in a rousing rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. All in all, it was a delightful afternoon of song that ended much too soon.
