An Enemy of the People

I'm proud to post the college production debut of my niece in Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People," October 23-25, 2009.









A star is born! She may turn out to be a business major after all, but building a portfolio of stage presence and poise can only be a good thing.

Love, hosaa
If all the world's a stage, somebody's got to be the audience!

Beautiful Star's Papa

RIP Joseph Alvis Aiken, beloved grandfather ("Papa") of Clay Aiken.

This is the montage I made after the 2005 Christmas tour, when Clay sang a bluegrass Christmas carol especially for Papa. Clay wrote in his book "Learning To Sing" that one of his favorite childhood memories was listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.

"Papa's Beautiful Star" includes both the passage from the book and Clay's special Christmas gift to Papa.
