2nd May 2013

The one with the complications!

Mostly related to the dates of our tour de Normandie and not Ed's fault at all! But after putting it to DFS, we WILL be sticking to our original plan of Sunday to Wednesday, and quite possibly camping in a swamp for the first night! After our warm up, Cat's littlest kitten Mary had the best birthday serenade ever, as she was born 5 years ago today! When our choir started little Mary was 5 months ... Sigh!

Then it was time to go through our repertoire, for our concert on 10th may. When we got to 'dancing queen' all eyes became riveted to the screen. So the words were removed, and so apparently were much of the verses! Oddly enough I received this text during choir - ''Kai and her school are singing at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow and she told me that her singing coach told them that if they forget their words, they should sing "rhubarb", as it will still look ok. Have you heard of this and if so, have you ever done it?? X'' and I think it Would be rather splendid if Abba choruses were turned to rhubarb...

The men are doing a lovely job with their solo parts, and Ed has chosen to play live to 'o what a beautiful morning' so he can follow the singers, and we don't have to try and follow a difficult backing track.

American accents needed for our carpenters number, ain't gonna sound good all British-like! Then back to neat, clipped excited-but-held-back vocals for what my kid's call 'the angry men song'.

Don't forget, we have a new hand signal to convey the term BOUNCY when Ed is conducting. To become familiar with it, try to use it at least once in all your conversations this week. Love you loads! Cat xxx
