Weldon and John brought me to the Barbershop Chorus tonight. Weldon is seventy some years old. A retired auto parts salesman I met at church. John is a farmer, farming about 800 acres close to town. He told me he will retire soon. Anyway, they were so enthusiastic about taking me to the Barbershop that they stopped by tonight at my place and took me there.
Barbershop is different. No accompaniment. A cappella if you will. And they didn't use a keyboard during the rehearsal either. I didn't realize how much I missed singing in a choir. I just joined the Choir at church couple weeks ago. But to sing in a larger group ... Man... did we sound good. Everything came back to me... the urge to sing and perform... the music... and perfect harmony. I think I will join the Barbershop Chorus. Oh by the way, this is an all men group. I sang in a mixed ensemble in College. So it's quite a different experience I had tonight.
I am glad that there's something else to occupy my time.

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

I almost thought your friends took you to get a haircut! So I started imagining you sitting in one of those old style barber shop.
I sang in a choir in university too - I recall finding it funny singing German songs, always feel I am spitting :P Unfortunately I stood in the front, so I am probably being spit on.
Speaking of haircut, I think I need a haircut soon. Have you watch the movie about barbershop? I think it's named barbershop. Don't quite remember exactly.
I am guilty of spitting too. It's funny when you see spots of white foam resting on the hair of the person standing in front of you.
Ok. Make sure you and I don't sing in the same choir...
You two just completely destroyed the image of angelic choir singers...
ho ho ho... the spitting choir.
At least we are not singing love songs - imaging two ppl singing a romantic love songs and spitting at each other!
Oh man. I am so tired tonight.
