REHEARSAL FOR MIDNIGHT MASS

BACK INTO THE MUSIC AGAIN . FIRST OF ALL WE LED THE MUSIC AT 10: 30 MASS YESTERDAY MORNING AT ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CHURCH .  I LOVE THE SONGS I CHOSE AND WE HAD FUN LEADING THE CONGREGATION. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE TAKE THE TIME TO COME UP TO US AFTERWARDS TO CHAT.  WE EVEN RECEIVED SOME NICE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT .  PANCAKE BREAKFAST DAY TOO ! 

THEN, TERRY AND I SPENT SOME TIME THIS EVENING REHEARSING FOR CHRISTMAS MIDNIGHT MASS.  HE SOUNDS SO GOOD ON THE PIANO AND WE ARE ONLY JUST WORKING OUT THE ARRANGEMENTS , ETC.  BUT YOU CAN HEAR A PORTION OF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS, ” MESSIAH ” ( BY FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI ) . YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHY TERRY IS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS DOES OUR VIDEOS…HA HA.  I’M THE WORST ! 

THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS SONGS TO CHOOSE FROM AND WE ARE HAVING FUN MAKING OUR DECISIONS.  I DO MISS HAVING A NICE , FULL CHOIR AND ALL THE HARMONIES THOUGH. SIGH. 

WE ALSO DECIDED TODAY TO DO A WEE SPIRITLINE CONCERT AT A BRAND NEW SENIOR’S CENTRE IN NORTH EDMONTON. A FRIEND OF OURS LIVES THERE NOW AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BRING SOME OF OUR MUSIC TO JUDY. 

TODAY I WORKED OUT WITH MY POOL FRIENDS AND AS USUAL MET UP FOR COFFEE AFTERWARDS.  LOOKS LIKE A FEW COUPLES MIGHT BE SHOWING UP AT THAT CONCERT  TOO !  WE HAVE FANS !!!!
