Risky recommendation....

Skip the Christmas present thing and take your family to a live Messiah concert this year in some terrific cathedral. It will become one of the 'awesome' lifelong memories of childhood, guaranteed.

In the market for some more new music?

....while you wait for the new school CD to emerge of course! :)

Choir's back! And we're happy :)

Great Hymns of Faith and Other Favourites

YAY! We did it! We put down TWENTY songs for our new CD and what an experience it has been! Such focus. Such incredible stick-to-it-tive-ness. Such EVERYthing!

I am so pleased and...a bit foggy too. :)

Yesterday, the concert participants rec'd their very own colour copy of the concert program.

(Thankyou Miss J for the most perfect classy program ever!)

Now I'd like the members of the CCS choir to report their favourite song and tell us what makes it their favourite song.

It's easy.

You click on comments and a box pops up.

You put the cursor in the box and type out your comment.

You pick an identity - choose anonymous and click on the comment button.

Voila! It appears like magic on the beautiful black backdrop.

Someday, we'll turn it all into a hardcover book.

Then you will have your own CD recording and published book!

You will be famous and travel the world and Oh, the places you will go!

Oh you're in for something good!

Oh what fun!

Singing!

Singing with violins!

And a trumpet and horn!

And a harp!

What a glorious sound it was. Come join the fun on Friday :)
