## Notes

{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}

Second or third time around for this project? Good enough to keep me looking forward to the next time! All of the singers were fabulous, most especially [Saleeb Fawzy Loza](https://www.facebook.com/saleeb.loza). Wow!
