One of my favorite things to do is their status collages, in which random status updates are chosen from the year’s collection and posted into one image.

Those who read my blog recently saw this entry about my submission for ForTalent.com‘s online contest to sing at James Barbour‘s Holiday Concert. Well…I WON!!!!

November 14, 2010Sierra sang at the James Fradrich Memorial Concert DVD Party at the Metropolitan Room. The evening was a benefit for the James Fradrich Memorial Scholarship for Classical Pianists and Composers. In addition to performing solos and a duet, she sang a new arrangement of one of Fradrich’s song with Marquee Five.

I decided to take a cue (okay, blatantly steal) an idea from the blog of actress-singer-coach Erin Cronican, and filled out my own responses to the Playbill.com series of interviews in wich they ask well known theater performers about themselves. Consider this a draft for the actual Playbill.com interview… Oh, and it’s Erin’s Birthday today – Happy Birthday Erin! I’m stealing from you!
