After a lovely lively assorted warm up, Ed sat at the piano to see if anyone had remembered anything from last week about the beach boys song! Erm.... Time for a lot more coaching. I still can't work out why bread-making gets into this song.
Ed shared that he was considering this number for the Music Festival. How everyone laughed then Ed said it was the winning. (It must be the pulling-apart then). Many choir members wanted us to chose another song.
So we moved so sing my all time longest-standing ear-worm... Chicken-tikka! But Ed didn't think it was festival worthy, just nice to perform in one of our usual concerts.
Don't sleep in subway next, and has a little bit more 'sparkle' than chicken-tikka.
We tackled 'on the street where you live,' and I always visualise a scene from a muppet movie as this song kicks off! It's not that I think choir are a bunch of muppets, it's just that sort of feeling and I know muppets can tap-dance 'cause I've seen Kermit's feet! Rudely Ed cut the song a line short...
'Down-town' was given an airing next because we like it. Jackie threw in 'so happy together' and 'Imagine' is also in the mix. Then we all got excited about San Fransisco but we will never get a choir trip there, to be sure! Jack made a list on the white screen and we all got two votes! On the street and San Francisco won!
So we sang the latter. Then got you tube out I listen to the Beatles song, 'here comes the sun' but it was in man-key.
The prayer next, one choir sang many moons ago. Yep. Many moons. Then finally 'rule the world' ....
Well done choir. Keep singing. Lots of lie and thanks for eveyone who came to the last Ed Zelton.
