Chats with Calliope- A Musical Weekend

JOE: Good afternoon Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good afternoon Joe. I expected to hear from you this morning.
JOE: I expected to contact you as well. However my modem died and I just now got my computer operational again.
CALLIOPE: I see.  How was your weekend?
JOE: Friday night was the Open Reading With Norm Davis.
CALLIOPE: How did that go?
JOE: Good, but not as I expected. Open readings are a new thing in Batavia. As it turned out, Norm did most of the reading which seemed fine with everyone.
CALLIOPE: Any other doings this weekend?
JOE: Bobby Milatello and his quartet put on a great concert at Genesee Community College on Saturday.  On Sunday I went to a joint choral concert with the Genesee Chorale and the Middleport Choir. Over a hundred voices in all. A great arts weekend.
CALLIOPE: Glad you enjoyed it.
JOE: I have a special edition of Sliding Otter News for you at the end of the week. Stay tuned.
