Hello and happy Friday to you,
Sadly no live blogging occurred yesterday. While I remembered to bring my daughter, who wanted to join us for the festive segment, I left my phone at home on charge so that was very helpful. Mary texted me all the songs in order to help me recap, today. To think 17 years ago I had three children under three and blogged at home the day after! Say nothing.
The speaker blasted out HARK THE HERALD and I started singing. By the end of the song Ed was ready at the front and everyone was singing. Then we warmed up.
We started with CAROL OF THE BELLS which is fun as we get our starting notes and then that’s it. Some of us remembered it quite well. Ed went over the harmony parts. Don’t worry, he said …. the good news is, it’s still November.
We went back to sing HARK THE HERALDS and some super clever people sang the descant.
Now for fun and intrigue Ed whipped out the Dolly Parton version of MARY DID YOU KNOW which was challenging but also a bit of a giggle, especially the spoken parts. Did you know? I think she did.
DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH is the one we have to fit in all the words that don’t fit. Good job dfs.
We do love a bit of IN THE BLEAK MID WINTER and that was quicky followed by A WINTERS TALE which may need a pic transpose or two. My Mary didn’t know this one. She texted the next title as MERRY CHRISTMAS and now for the life of me I can’t recall the real title. We hung our stockings on the wall.
At some point we sang Cliff Richard’s version of O LITTLE TOWN but it was rather sung in the boots and a few people didn’t know it. I remember Cliff of top-of-the-pops twirling around.
Finally we stood to perform O HOLY NIGHT which we all love and adore, and sing out.
Well done DFS, stay festive xxx
