Last night I was treated to a great Christmas meal. The invitation did come with a bit of a hook. OK, I volunteered!
Put together a choir and lead a time of entertainment between the two meal sittings.
Not a problem. And great fun.
We sang five songs. Another friend of mine, Laurie Thompson, and I sang two duets. And the gathered group sang a Christmas carol or two. There were probably around 100 gathered just to listen.
The choir did a great job. They are all former choir members. But being in their 80’s (most of them – we have some in their nineties) their best days of singing are past. But even at 1/2 speed they provided a great sound and four part harmony. Not perfection but very enjoyable.
And so, my next opportunity for directing choir falls on December 16th at 6:30 pm when our church program is being run at our local high school auditorium. The program is free. The two choirs I have been directing will both be there. And there is a dessert bar to follow.
If you are around, join us!!
