| Our Choirmaster |
"Hard times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door." - Stephen Foster
Last night I had the bizarre experience of being in a silent choir. Over a hundred of us joined one another on zoom as the choir master led us. We had our mic's muted. I watched a hundred faces mouth the words. In a way it was liberating. If I turned the video so that I could see them and they couldn't see me. I did the dishes, made tea, and then took the laptop into the bathroom where I had a bath with them all singing merrily away and me along with them. It was an unusual choir practice but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We sang a John Prine song as he is listed in critical condition from the virus and John Prine stories were shared. I hope he comes through.
