I wrote the words to a poem about joy, and Paulette wrote lovely music reflecting the words, and a beautiful young woman named Elizabeth Martin sang the song "That's What It Is". It was the only "live" music performance, as the other musical entry was on a CD. That being the case, it was the highlight of the evening.
Since it was the only live music, not surprisingly, our song won First Place. Still, I am very proud of the event and the recognition. and the song. Paulette should get 95% of the credit, though.
Another friend from church, Sandy, an artist of a different kind, entered a painting entitled "Bach Joy". It is a painting of Paulette playing the organ at church. Sandy identified listening to Paulette play Bach is a source of great joy for her.
What would be the height of joy for me would be if Sandy, who is a dancer, would choreograph a dance number for next year's Arts Challenge. They have not had an entry in the Dance category, perhaps ever in the five years it has been happening. I would love to see half a dozen senior citizen ladies doing a simple dance number. And oh how I would love to be among them!
We'll see!!
