2nd March 2023

A new song? At this close to a concert? We whipped up the sheets and waved them around, slipped them into folders and caught up with our friends. 

Ed had another cold. Aw, we said, and tried to be sympathetic. He pointed out the new Medley, for those who hadn’t seen it yet. And we warmed up. It was good to have Ed in charge even if he was meant to be on strike today … We used Mangoes, Bananas and Kiwis to warm up, which choir hadn’t done in a while. 

Am dram time, I Who Have Nothing which we were supposed to be all very warmed and loosened up for. But the words wouldn’t fit on the lines again. Oops. Ed was already at the piano, but he broke it down for us. Short clipping bits and smooth long bits. Basically. And more drama. And hold. And breathe. Yes. More drama to be added this week. 

New medley time, the Peter Kay Children in Need Medley. We listened to track, from 2009. Pop into drop box to listen again, this weeks homework. 

We dropped into Africa, like you do. Rain time. Shhhh everyone. We practiced a multi layered ending. Anchors, beautiful people, and tops. 

Into Uptown Girl. Guuuurrrrrl. Yeah. 

And sweetly, we listened to a recording of From Both Sides Now recorded in the Isle Of white last year. Then Ed sat at the piano and we sang, sweetly at first, then energising … feeling it. Or at least, I was. 

Jogging next, through 9 to 5 feeling out of breath and nostalgic for typewriters! Dolly-isms needed for this one. Chuck your British accents out the window. 

We ended with Those Were The Days and very well done Choir. Love you xxxx
