I have sung at weddings, in musicals, choirs, and just for my family. Moving 7 years ago left me without a church that I felt comfortable in. And thus my choir singing came to an end. Plus the aging process has lowered my 1st Soprano range, so that I struggle to reach a high G. So often I wished I could have an Alto range, so many moody songs are sung there. And I love minor!!!

I'm sure the kids liked your songs but the kitties must love them, lolol. Wow good to know you're not usually in the middle of all that crazy weather. I can't read music but my mom could play by ear on the piano and I got a little bit of that from her. My brain just won't comprehend musical notes, lol. sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058468335076574056.post-88850288139016246652023-05-05T16:14:47.434-05:002023-05-05T16:14:47.434-05:00My high school teacher Mrs. Williams took the same...My high school teacher Mrs. Williams took the same chance on me. Don't you just love those teachers?! I love playing music more than singing, so later on, I moved on to doing just that as an adult. I loved reading your story, Linda! I hope you recovering well. With Toby on nurse duty, how can you not?! You are one of the very few people I know who loves storms just as much as I do.

We parallel in many ways although I was firmly in the band not chorus. I admired the chorus. What instrument did you play? I was clarinet changing to alto clarinet in high school, which gave me more of a workout in marching band as it turned out! <br />you were so brave as a child to try out, and I love your teacher who knows true teaching encourages a child's growth through learning.
