Isn't it often so in life that great talent speaks for itself, but that nonetheless a little help from your friends can put some icing on the cake?Emil Emshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815643585218883358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-4160226034291423182010-04-13T04:02:15.884+02:002010-04-13T04:02:15.884+02:00Emil, it was wonderful to have you in the audience...Emil, it was wonderful to have you in the audience, more fun to sing when you know someone out there. <br />The story about the Ragnar is fun. How did he find his way to the Bay?<br />Well he had been visiting the US chorus life before, and had met the SF chorus director Vance George on one of those trips. When I had to leave for the Bay area, I asked Ragnar what I should do. I had been singing all my life, in one form or the other, where could I continue this wonderful hobby of mine? Ragnar suggested getting in touch with Vance, whom I would like Ragnar claimed. And I did, and Vance did. So in 1999 I joined the SF Chorus. Vance retired three years ago, and we had to sit through one awful audition after the other for a new leader. I called Ragnar for some reason or the other, and while we were talking I heard my self say, Ragnar why do you now apply to this position? He did and MTT, Michael Tilson Thomas loved him. And hired him! So there is a story for you about taking advantage of circumstances. <br />thanks for coming and talk to you soon<br />evaEva Meyersson Milgromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804749811996648209noreply@blogger.com
