“Dear PoPville,
I bet the PoP crew can figure this one out.
I can’t remember the name of a movie. In this day were there are so many studios making movies and streaming, I have simply lost where I saw it and what the name is. It was pretty good and I want to watch it again but can’t find it no matter what searches I do. Here is what I remember…
1. It was a period piece, in Europe I think
2. The painter dissected animal parts (like a pigs head) and possibly cadavers so he could draw the musculature
3. He hired prostitutes to draw as models
4. He hired a specific one (seems like the actress was semi-famous like Claire Danes or somebody) who became his love interest. She uncovered one of the things he was dissecting and screamed out thinking he was going to kill her
5.They fell in love but were very poor. He came down with some disease that would eventually kill him, and she took care of him until he died.
I think I remember in the last scenes she was still living in his room after he died and she might have been pregnant.
I’d love to find this missed connection again, it was a good love story.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
