Music in the Valley

Every January there is a church music conference held in
Hanover, PA. This was the first time Bill and I were able
to attend. I am here with one of the finest composers, Joseph
Martin. His music is awesome and he is most inspiring as
a top notch clinician.

This is the window in the front of St. Matthew Lutheran
Church where Music in the Valley is held every year.
It was so thrilling to read through music for almost six hours
and having 600 or more church musicians singing new releases.
It was definitely a renewing time for me.

Upon Nick Bravata's suggestion, we did stop at the
Utz outlet store before we left Hanover. Yes,
Nick works for Utz and is a tenor in my Sanctuary Choir.

Bill is showing off his recent purchase from Utz.

Unfortunately, my Eagles lost the NFC championship game.

Bill was kind enough to work his way down to the
Susquehanna River so I could take a few pictures
of the partially frozen river.

I was intrigued to see how some parts of the river froze
and other parts did not.

This was taken from the Route 30 bridge out
the window while Bill was driving. I had a lot
of fun doing this!
