Hello,
The Christmas letter is done enough
that Leroy could proofread it. I call that progress. Leroy also found the last
box of decorations. They have been displayed to their full advantage. It was so
warm today I cannot imagine needing a down coat in the near future. Where are
those cold days from just a few weeks ago?
This morning the church choir did
their special presentation in honor of the Christmas season. It all sounded
good, but I find I must be getting old as my mind wanders during a piece
sometimes and I get caught wondering just what I should be singing. There are
only five sopranos in the choir. Thank goodness one is young and she is on top
of all of what is going on. The hard part is that we were split 1st
and 2nd parts and then it means only two voices on one part and
three on the other. All the other voices have more singers so we have to push
to be heard sometimes.
In the bulletin this morning the
prelude was attributed to Marty Haugen. I turned to the woman sitting next to
me and said, “That is not Marty Haugen.”
First I have never heard of him
composing an organ selection and second it did not sound anything like his
other music that I am familiar with. Sure enough when I talked to the organist
he said it was a misprint in the bulletin. I did not know that composer, but I
am pleased that I could recognize who it was not.
I played the piano for a nursing home service
this afternoon. At least this time the Christmas decorations did not interfere with
opening the lid and putting music on the right spot. Any mistakes I made were
just ordinary mistakes that I have to take the credit for. These people were
not quite as active as the last group and they straggled in after Leroy had
started to do his thing. Leroy is nicely flexible so it is not a big deal.
