Sorry to hear about allergies interfering with your singing; that must be frustrating. It sounds like you had a lovely voice that would have blended well with Anonymous 4! My singing voice (usually first alto, occasionally second soprano) is having problems too due to age. DH and I got to make many choral performance trips to Europe from 1998 to 2018 and were lucky to sing in some major cathedrals including Canterbury, Notre Dame de Paris, Chartres, St. Peter’s in Rome, St. Mark’s in Venice; also in Barcelona, Dublin, and Edinburgh. Fantastic experiences, but international travel is too difficult for us now (we both turn 80 this year).
Pro chorister! You must be an excellent singer. I’ve been singing in choral groups most of my life but have never been paid. I assume your handle is a reference to Anonymous 4? In 2001 I had the pleasure of singing Richard Einhorn’s “Voices of Light” (about Joan of Arc) with Anonymous 4 singing the voice of Joan. The chorus performed as the silent movie “The Passion of Joan of Arc” was shown on a big screen behind us. Amazing experience!
Thanks for posting about the Google doodle! Love the cicada band. In my county in central NC, we have had the Brood IX cicadas for weeks and they seem to be done…until next time.
What a wonderful story about Smoky you shared in today’s Furbabies, Nancy! I really enjoyed reading the article titled “War Dogs Come in Different Sizes: The WWII Story of a Yorkshire Terrier Named Smoky” at the site ww2history DOT org.
That’s quite a picnic the ants are stealing!
