Notes from the editor:
And so we begin again. Onward into the unknown one more time, stronger, more resilient, more determined. We can do this. Here's to a happier, healthier, musical, art-filled, even more successful year ahead. A full Arts Blast will be back next week after a bit of a holiday slowdown. Why do I not feel rested? Could it be the days-long cooking marathon, making sure island friends and I had plenty of kalalloo to see us through Old Year's Night? The vat of vegetable soup to share with a friend having surgery this week? The too-lumpy Virgin Islands potato stuffing for another friend's annual Christmas treat? I plan to take the weekend off, maybe take a FaceTime crocheting lesson, read an old Randy Wayne White book and a new one from Tim Dorsey, give the house a lick-and-a-promise cleaning, plant some seeds --- wait a minute. That doesn't sound a lot like taking the weekend off. I'll try again. What are your traditions for ending one year and beginning a new one? If you weren't able to see the Christmas Celebration at First Presbyterian Church in person last week, here's the YouTube link to enjoy it now. And enjoyment doesn't begin to describe the feeling I and others I've talked to had while watching Jacob Craig conducting a huge collection of the best musicians the area has to offer: the First Presbyterian Chancel Choir in collaboration with singers from The Vero Beach Choral Society, Sebastian River High School Choirs, Vero Beach High School Choirs, Indian River Charter High School Choir, the First Pres Youth String Orchestra joined by the FPC Youth Winds and Percussion ensemble.Think goosebumps. And if you haven't listened to the special holiday Arts Blast on the Air, pour a cup of something nice and kick back for 25 minutes. We have so much wonderful, generous local talent! And what fun it was to put it together. A note from Live! from Vero Beach: The shows scheduled for December 30 and January 13 were canceled but Rus Anderson returns to Vero Beach in The Rocket Man Show, the blockbuster Elton John tribute show, January 20 at 7 p.m. at The Emerson Center. Notes from the editor:
🌲❄️⛄️ My Christmas Eve began with a container of caldo gallego — a deliciously good for you soup of kale, chorizo, potatoes, turnips, white beans, onions, and lots of chicken broth — falling out of my overburdened refrigerator onto my foot. Yes, the lid flew off. Yes, I was wearing my Crocs sandals. Then, the Oooops! screen continued its greetings on my computer as I've tried since yesterday morning to send this Arts Blast card to readers. But ... The sun is shining, a neighbor brought me raisin bread hot out of the oven, Johnny Mathis and The Carpenters are singing my favorite Christmas music in the background, a painted bunting family is having brunch on the seeds I scattered for them, and the reflections of bowls of little Christmas lights are sparkling on my screen. This afternoon I'll visit a friend I haven't seen since before that long-ago intrusion into our lives we naively believed would be short lived, friends who've been struggling with COVID tell me they're on the mend, and I've just had a long, heartfelt email from another friend who had moved far away. This week, with the help of a colleague at Planet Vero, I was able to produce a special holiday Arts Blast on the Air. I hope you'll have time to listen, knowing that the best Arts Blast wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season are being beamed your way. SUPPORT OUR ARTS COUNCILS
