Thank you. As you were …
9 June 2022
Fred was taking choir today, Ed’s terribly organised twin. I wondered if he was any good at jokes, while everyone shuffled through their new song booklets and sheets.
Fred gave us the details of our upcoming concerts, in Sutton Poyntz and in Dorchester Borough Gardens, 3rd and 17th July.
Apparently Ed was told Fayre in the square was magical and wonderful and had told Fred to pass on his love and very great thanks. Especially the bond medley. Fred was also quite good at warm ups and playing the piano, but let’s not tell Ed as he might feel a bit sad. I don’t think anyone reads this, so that’s not a problem.
We sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sandra, then started our news songs. Then Ed forgot to be Fred and told us he’s supporting Jack’s band at The Boat That Rocks on Saturday. Marvellous.
Now, if I have got this right, here is the link to all the shiny new words and sounds for our new songs.
Jack popped the kareoke version of DANCING IN THE STREET and we dived in. Meridy didn’t like the ending. Never mind. It was time for HEAVEN ON EARTH while I popped into Facebook to get the link posted above.
I don’t think we have sang SECRET LOVE since 2013. I know because I sang it to my secret love. Then DFS sang at our hilarious wedding some time after that, and we’ve been married over 7 years! But I digress.
Ed demonstrated that the harmony was going to be a beautiful cacophony of counterpoint, in the choruses. And it was. We even pulled it off a Capella and it was very exciting and really good, just like a proper choir.
We sang OUR LAST SUMMER like it was winter. Because it was getting very cold in the hall.
Next ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE, then I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU when we all only really sing WANNA. No Jam and Jerusalem in this number. And it was good. A crowd pleaser.
Our new song is THE JOKER AND THE QUEEN which Jack thrust under Ed’s radar recently. Ed sat at the piano to demonstrate. There’s a sneaky pause in line two. Be careful choir, it’s only in verse one. In the instrumental we must ooo and aaah like violins. Ed slipped it into F# major.
For a special treat we ended with a double bill; the ABBA song again, and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. Such fun!
Well done DFS and don’t forget to miss Jack next week while he’s getting some more culture and possibly an award. Keep singing xxx
