saxikathWow, I was beginning to think only two people were interested enough to give me five questions. (I'm still accepting questions.)
1.) What one musical role would you really like to play? Why?
It's very hard for me to pick just one. Right now, though, the one that's at the top of my mind is the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods. She's a complex character; she seems to "get it" in the first act, but it becomes clear that her motives are more selfish. And her songs suit my voice beautifully.
Runners-up would be the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Mad Margaret in Ruddigore. And Carmen.
2.) Describe your dream house/apartment/place to live.
Someplace with wood floors, lots of built-in cabinetry, a huge and well-equipped kitchen, a room just for music, another room just for crafty things, lots of storage, a yard and a garden. Located somewhere not in a big city but close enough to one for access to activities there. And enough money to pay someone else to clean it.
3.) What musical instrument would you learn, if you had time and money to do so?
Saxophone. I've never played a wind or brass instrument (except recorder), and I've always liked the sound of the saxophone. I'd probably play tenor sax, because I love the mid-low sound.
4.) If you needed to de-stress, and could spend a weekend doing absolutely anything relaxing, what would you do? Time, money and distance are no object.
Oooh, what a prospect. :) I can think of all sorts of things, but honestly, I think I would go to my grandparents' house in New Hampshire. It's on a beautiful piece of land by a pond, out in the woods in rural New Hampshire. I adore it there, and it relaxes me on contact. Best place for a nap: their screen porch. And I could take the canoe out on the pond, or go swimming, and play the piano (actually, the piano is at the retirement place where they live now, but I'd have it moved back for the occasion!) and the pump organ, and sit on a rock, and play with acorns, and read, and if it's chilly, sit by the fire or the wood stove.
5.) Surprise, reincarnation is for real-- you get to pick what animal you’ll be in your next life, and where you’ll live. What do you pick?
A blue heron, along a river in the woods somewhere.
