Crusty Cristo
Craig has shaved...Gregg has not.
I think Gregg is keeping it for this reading as he's playing 'Faria' the prisoner of The Chateau D'If who teaches 'Dantes' everything that he uses in his new life.
Crusty because it was so dry in the rehearsal space today. I must have gone through two gallons of water.
The music is big and beautiful and did I mention big? Well it's big. By big I not only mean there is a ton of it but I mean big as in sweeping and sincerely moving. And of course Frank has me singing in the stratosphere as only he can get me to sing.
I've been tired to say the least...haven't really had any down time since Tale opened (and closed) and that can be taxing. But I'm always inspired with new work, especially work that has a deep meaning to it.
Holiday songs...I do a Holiday concert every year in Los Angeles at the NOHO Arts Centre www.nohoace.com It's been great fun. I sang a bunch of tunes "Believe" and "Oh Holy Night" which was my mother's favorite (and one of mine as well).
I'm a huge sucker for Holiday music and yes, I'll confess I was listening to it on my iPod on my way to rehearsal today. There's nothing like Bing or Nat on a crispy morning.
I know, I know, the "official" Holiday Music start date is after Thanksgiving...but I just can't help myself. It always makes me happy.
Anyone know "Aspen Glow"?

Aspen glow is quite lovely.
Will you be heading out to LA to do another Holiday show this year?
Sunny hugs from Florida!

P.S. How about a James Barbour Christmas Album PLEASE!
"Big" is a good word... I think.
Then again, a Christmas CD would be amazing, too!
I love holiday music too. "White Christmas" is one of my favorites!

Ahhh, I want to hear you singing those christmas song, oh please! *_____*
ohh..john denver!!
just curious if you have tried coconut water?? I am addicted to it for optimal hydration. Especially with all the winter heaters kicking in making things extra crusty...
Organic Avenue on Stanton has the best freshly bottled in my opinion. I go through at least two bottles a day. My sister is a singer and she says it really helps her vocally.
for those "crusty cristo" rooms it might be helpful!
Then, this morning, as I was driving to work listening to the "White Christmas" soundtrack (re-released last year with a special limited edition DVD of the Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye movie), I skipped to 'Count Your Blessings,' one of my all-time favorites. Even put it in a Slytherin fanfic once. "Great song," I thought, "but not just anybody can sing it. It has to be performed by someone who can make his voice so warm, it'll melt your socks into a woolen puddle around your fee..."
DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!
James, I think you should add 'Count Your Blessings' to your holiday repertoire.
