You got to sing for Stephen Hatfield?? *is incredibly jealous*
I DID!! Not only that, I got to sing an entire concert of Stephen Hatfield music, conducted by Stephen Hatfield, capping off a week that included two workshops run by Stephen Hatfield. It's definitely a high point in my choral life :) :) :)

The guy is pretty certifiable. Brings the "eccentric" to "eccentric genius" like whoa. Talks a mile a minute, spoke French often - and very badly - made totally inappropriate jokes in a church, screamed at the sopranos that he was going to stop the entire concert if we didn't get this line right, unexpectedly showed us a tattoo on his back to illustrate a point he was making, pranced around the stage like a demented thing during the concert... and it was all awesome. All the choirs walked away from the concert on a total high. Except for a few of the sopranos in our choir, who were a little miffed about the screaming and unable to understand that he was joking. Oh, and the child he crashed into on stage.

Thanks for posting the links again! I'd borked the computer I'd downloaded the files to, and am delighted to get the recordings of "All Too Soon" and "Tiny Fish" again.
You're very welcome! I made myself a CD of the playlist a while ago... hm... sure I've got it around here somewhere...

*hugs back*
