Morning AB, All,
Sitting to my left is my most precious granddaughter. Who did go to church with me in the middle of the night what with the choir singing at the 7 am mass.
As always, AB, thank you for doing this thread so dependably. Beautiful Thanksgiving weekend here in the swamps of Delaware; hope you all are enjoying nice weather as well.
See, I “practiced” our choir songs with her, telling her that “we” would be singing with the choir. It was an attempt to drum up her enthusiasm for getting up early to go to church. To my dismay, as she stood in front of me as I held open the folder holding the songs, SHE BEGAN TO SING!
Folks, I’ve listened mightily and, go with me on this, she shows NO signs of any kind of singing talent. In fact, ahem, she does this affectatious kind of thing (she’s 7 years old if you didn’t know and for prospective) that I suppose she “thinks” singers do when they sing. It comes out like some kind of ghostly sound, like the noise you’d hear from a haunted attic.
I thought she wouldn’t be able to follow the music or that the choir would drown her out. But she sang LOUDLY and with, ahem, gusto. She sounded perfectly awful. I had to put my hand over her mouth, dear Lord that she should not ruin the choir’s presentation. Those 7 am people seldom hear us at any rate and I dread that they’ll go home and tell their friends and family that the St. Jude’s choir sounds like they need the ghost busters.
Shy she ain’t.
Don’t know where she gets that from.
Great! Good for her!
Good lungs are a gift from God...she will need them to drown out the Libs.
Psalm 98, “Make a joyful noise......”
Could be what the fabulous granddaughter was doing?
Well...supporting her voice on a strong column of air, and projecting her voice...it seems she’s got that all down pat...Pat.
Now her pitch accuracy and timing may need just a little work.
Hey Fish...sorry for the thread drift but whaddya think of the new translations and the move to singing everything. Personally I don’t like the singing because we have a song leader who is terrible. His daughter is a professional opera singer, but she sure didn’t get her talent from him. We have two non singing masses, but it looks like thats gonna change. Some unhappy people if that happens.
