Try to Remember


Two years ago, Eph Ehly came to Arizona to do a workshop for Choral Directors from around the state (and surrounding states).  I never expected to be so inspired by this man.  I bought his book and took it up to him and asked if he would sign it.  Before he signed it, he asked me who I was and where I taught, and we visited for about 5 minutes.  He looked into my eyes and he said, "Congratulations! You know who you are, why you are here, and where you are going."  He made a difference for me that day and his book changed me as a person and a teacher.

I will never forget meeting and visiting and reading the memoir by Eph Ehly.  I wish he could come back and help me remember who I am, why I am here, and especially where I am going...
