TE, The striking thing is that she has been a parish choir singer for decades. I guess she has one Big Fan long before, and that's all she needs. One serving the Lord is always filled with great joy, did you see it filling her aura? But I'm glad she's having a good time.
re choirs...I was rechanneling my satellite receiver on Astra and found a free to air music channel (O Music) dedicated to classical crossovers. I was amazed to find quite a few more "choir people" actually making it. There's Aled Jones who was a choir boy (boy soprano) in the early eighties. He's got a bunch of CDs out and he's good. And there's actually a 3-boy group called The Choir Boys with a haunting version of "Tears in Heaven". Then there's The Priests, a group composed of 3 Irish Catholic priests who sang in the choir since they were kids, went to the seminary together, kept singing and is now a hit in the UK. And there's Katherine Jenkins, UK's top selling mezzo-soprano who was a chorister in Wales and twice won the BBC 2 Wales Choirgirl of the year award.
Not bad, you bet. I'm a CFC choir member myself, not for the voice though, but just to provide backup base guitar. Comes in handy during CLP's too. Our CFC choir serves every 7:15am Sunday mass. I've always admired people with good singing voices, but as my own voice is so-so, I've never in my wildest dreams entertained a career path in singing. Good looks is not enough :-)
Hi Willy, sounds like my good friend Sammy. He does base as well. We're running a CLP now bro. Tomorrow is talk 4. Some of the participants are Indians from Goa. Bridging that cultural divide is difficult but you know what? The music does it effortlessly. Especially with a good dose of the Spirit.
...And this food is called among us Eukaristia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them...

Hi Willy,
That's the third time that happened. The first time was with Paul Potts and the second was with Andrew Johnston, a 13-year-old boy soprano.

Hey, it's not a bad career path, huh?
