The
songs are becoming more familiar, but I am still having a problem
with learning the words. When Gary requests that we sing without
our books, my mind goes blank and I can’t even remember the
first word – I make frantic signals to my friends to help me
out only to find the first word is ‘Oooo’ or ‘Ah’.
After
the rehearsal I joined the others in the pub for a chat and the
general feeling is that singing is good for the soul and we all
feel a lot happier for it.
Not long to go now, as it's only 3 weeks
on Saturday!  |
John
led the rehearsal at Jesmond on Saturday. We learnt lots of different
things including singing in regional accents, how to do cakewalk
style, along with the usual warm up exercises. We heard Kevin sing
his solo piece. It must have been very nerve-racking for him, but
he was excellent – I hope the choir are allowed to give him
a standing ovation at the City Hall!
After
hearing Kevin, I am now looking forward to hearing all of the other
soloists and how their songs fit into the programme.
Not
long to go now, as it’s only 3 weeks on Saturday – ‘oooo’
or is it ‘ahhhhhh’?
