Our first song of the evening

My love and best wishes to you all.....enjoy

  45. Thank you John. Singing cards are always “interesting ” ... some of the commercial ones are saccharine! ... but yours is genuinely special! It’s a shame you were hidden behind the antlers though.

    May your Christmas be gentle and healing, and the New Year bring happiness and new excitement. Thank you for blogging.

  77. Hearing a choir sing brings a feeling of warmth and joy. Now I feel ready for the season.
    Years ago a Welsh men’s choir come to our little town and performed. It was heavenly. We hosted two of the gentlemen overnight and they were delightful.
    Wishing you and the furries a peaceful season that will fill your soul with hope for a wonderful future. 🎄❤️

  78. That was fabulous! Well done! I found myself mesmerised by the choirmaster's hips. You looked enigmatic behind the antlers John. The basses really anchor the sound and you all sounded wonderful <3

  83. Thanks for sharing your lovely choir with us I totally enjoyed it and looks like a good time was had by all.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I agree that the bass section did quite well! My father was a small man (135 pounds at his highest weight) but he had a beautiful bass voice, not at all the voice you expected when he opened his mouth to sing. I didn't inherit a beautiful voice from either him or my mother. Although I didn't sing in a choir, I joined our community's symphony orchestra until rheumatoid arthritis made it too difficult to play my violin. What joy it is to work together for all those weeks and months and then to perform together, too. May you continue to find such satisfaction in a joy well done into the future.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Love and hugs to you too, John, and my fervent wishes that the coming year is a good one for you. You deserve it!
