I bumped into Maestro Resa quite by accident, after not having seen her in decades. She filled me in on her life so far, and about her dream of conducting an adult band. She asked me if I would like to play the clarinet in her band, as she had remembered that I had played it centuries before in high school. I told her that if she had her dream, so did I. I had always wanted to learn how to play the flute. She graciously allowed me to “audition”. After showing me which end of the instrument to blow into, she welcomed me into the band. Eight years, several lessons and countless rehearsals later, I too am fulfilling a lifelong goal. Monday nights are the best night of the week, and not just because I never have to make dinner. Resa, thank you for making MY dream come true.
