singing
By the way, I just noticed how sometimes my blogs are like buses - none for ages, then two together.
This one is just to record that, having missed loads of sing-outs, I actually got roped into our last carol concert - and I'm glad I did. It wasn't just carols (thank goodness) but it was the end of an era - the era of our (now ex-) Chorus Director, who decided to resign recently. It was sad to see another transition, especially the manner of it, but it marks the end of another phenomenon. For a while, our club had been unusual - and perhaps unique - in that all of our previous chorus directors were still involved in the club in some role or other. They have all now left.
Who knows what 2011 will bring? I certainly don't. At times in the last few weeks it's felt a bit like the old joke about a ship staying afloat only because the woodworm are holding hands. Keep holding tight, lads.....and sing while you've still got breath....
