Another choir

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!!
