a classical girl in a pop world

alonewiththemoonTrying to figure out a set for Sunday's show, so I can maybe run through it a couple of times between now and then... I keep hearing all this great grand Egyptian stuff and putting together these great classical sets, then listening to them and remembering that those sets never really work that well in a restaurant setting. It's not that I don't like the pop songs, I genuinely have fun dancing to them, but it's just not as fulfilling. I need to find myself a stage show. Maybe the next NBDA thing... Well, if nothing else I can sneak some good saidi in Sunday's set!
Thought a lot about trying to go to Texas for the Fifi Abdo workshop, but ultimately decided not to, for basically two reasons (besides money, of course). One is that she has never taught before. She could be brilliant, but she also could be not brilliant, and also I have no idea what her English might be like, though I assume there'd be a translator to help. The second is that it will be a mob scene and I'm afraid it would just end up being frustrating. So I'm going to read the reviews and if it was amazing I will kick myself and make sure I get myself there the next time she comes anywhere in this hemisphere. And buy the DVD.
