It is a joy to sing with you. Joe, especially -- thanks for teaching me that if the weather is right and the piano is in tune and the director is smiling encouragingly, I can hit a high C. With confidence, even. :) Guys (and girl!), you have all made my week. It is a joy to sing with you.

Much better than my NISOD video when I won my teaching award. And you are out of your mind if you say that you have little musical ability. Are you crazy? Blessed be the one who sings to the angels. And that my friend, is you! Love, _b Em- you did fantastic! Much better than my NISOD video when I won my teaching award. And you are out of your mind if you say that you have little musical ability.

Poor Terry has to regularly sing next to me, and I have no idea what a "d" is, let alone if I am hitting it or not. And Emily is always so gentle and encouraging that it makes it easier to keep trying. And yes, Emily is truly a joy and inspiration to listen to and worship with. I'll be asleep for the early show and in Church for the later airing, but will be setting my DVR record it. I'm looking forward to it very much.

LOL Gentle readers, in my decades as a choral musician, this young woman is one of three or four best choral -- as opposed to strictly solo -- voices I have had the honor of singing with. Period. This includes six years in a college-level classical ensemble that toured nationally. So laugh at this statement by her. Mock her. Pummel her with compliments. Make her have to take this statement to confession because of its lack of accuracy. Poor musician, my foot. ;-) tmatt Very poor musician.
