Friday Night

Yay for Friday night! I have the Indigo Girls on the stereo, a husband checking his e-mail on the couch, and a chicken pot pie in the oven. That's what I call a good Friday night! Later maybe we'll play a game or watch a movie. But first, chicken pot pie. Yum! I bet we're the only people in Munich having that for dinner tonight.

Today I discovered that one of the songs we're singing for our chorus competition was originally a French song sung by Edith Piaf. It's called Hymne à l'Amour, or Hymn to Love, and if you can find it you should listen to it. Her version is fabulous.

But now it's the remastered versions of "Rites of Passage" and "Nomads Indians Saints" by the Indigo Girls. Their new album, "All That We Let In," came out last week, but I don't have my copy yet (it's coming from the US). Maria was nice enough to transfer the song files to me -- I've already bought the album, after all, I just don't have it yet, so I didn't feel guilty! -- and I listened to them a few times, but I really kind of want to wait until I have my album in my hands. I hope it's here before our trip to Dortmund next week!

And I hope they tour in Europe!
