<strong>Tsade ~ with lily to see Mr. Fitz</strong><br/><br/>Tsade stepped into the room. It was a small auditorium in that it had several rows of comfortable chairs. A raised stage requiring two steps up. A piano with accompanist and room for other instruments on the stage but none were present at the time. Four music stands on the stage to the right of the piano. Three young women at the music stands. The women and the pianist all focused on the person on the ground floor with the baton.<br/><br/>"Morning Mr. Fritz, "  Tsade said in a conversational tone. "This is Ava."<br/><br/>Mr. Fritz could have been anyone of a dozen people until of course Mr. Fritz turned around and then he could have been an owl. A wise owl with horn rimmed glasses, a bald head and sharp beak for a nose with shoulders that seemed to go out  into a wing span with one of the tips holding a director's baton impatiently at his hip.  Mr. Fritz was just over 4 foot three inches but he looked much larger.<br/><br/>"Morning, to you Administrator," Mr. Fritz said by way of greeting.<br/><br/>"Is that her is it. Well fine. Send her up to join the rest. A few scales and I'll sort have her sorted out and back to you in a moment," Mr. Fritz said eyeing the beauty.<br/><br/>"Of course," Tsade said to Mr. Fritz then turned to Lily.<br/><br/>Tsade unlocked her leash and turned her around to uncuff her.<br/><br/>"Up you go." Tsade directed.<br/><br/>Mr. Fritz turned back to the platform. "Come gel,  E 'il momento di cantare." [it's time for you to sing]<br/><br/>"Not only do you not know what I said but you're probably tone deaf," Mr. Fritz mumbled and tapped the baton on the music stand to get everyone's attention.<br/><br/>"A pochi arpeggi prima di cominciare." [ a few warm up arpeggios before we begin]<br/><br/>Mr. Fitz motioned for the pianist to give the que cords and looked to see if the new one was coming.<br/><br/>
