By the way, they thought it was really sweet the way you proposed.Sonny Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495813309572022459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332678058465663867.post-29134904226524159872009-06-19T10:52:00.939-07:002009-06-19T10:52:00.939-07:00Thanks Sonny, I know people can appreciate it with...Thanks Sonny, I know people can appreciate it without really knowing what it is, but I was mainly talking about the people in the world who are trying to shut it out of schools or the parents of the kids who go to SCI that want their kids to do football instead of sing. Artists will always be artists, we will always do what we love, I just don't want people to be excluded from all of this, or any opportunities to experience it because of the people who don't find it important.Bryan Pinkallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517306851252945426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332678058465663867.post-56674643431610563632009-06-19T07:27:07.594-07:002009-06-19T07:27:07.594-07:00When I teach grammar in my English classes, I writ...When I teach grammar in my English classes, I write about my family in the sentence they will deconstruct. It is almost always about you and Dusti. The students didn't understand what I meant when I said,"Bryan is an opera singer," so I pulled up one of the video's from Facebook where you were in a contest. Needless to say, my students were incredibly impressed with your ability to sing. I'd like to think that even if they don't understand, they can still appreciate it on some level. <br /><br />On another note, I have really enjoyed reading about your adventures in New York. Have a wonderful time and a safe trip home.Sonny Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495813309572022459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332678058465663867.post-23165303445793242152009-06-19T04:49:27.010-07:002009-06-19T04:49:27.010-07:00Good morning from Salina.

Too bad for Tiger but then he will rebound.<br /><br />I'm probably in the "Don't understand" group but it is important to support the arts if only in the "I appreciate it, enjoy it, but don't always understand it" category. We are so glad you are having such a "learning" time because that is the area in which we both think is important. Your week is coming to an end and it sounds like it has been absolutely wonderful. Enjoy these last couple of days and travel safely back to Kansas.<br /><br />love, grandmaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513826843172338580noreply@blogger.com
