 Good evening wailed Ed as he fumbled for his microphone. He gave away 2 hot copies of THE PRAYER but in dots. Get a copy from https://pdfcoffee.com/andrea-bocelli-the-prayer-pdf-free.html

We warmed up after agreeing we should include a Neil Sedaka song follow the recent sad news of his death this week. 

Ed stayed behind piano to sing SEASONS OF LOVE with us. Who remembers singing this when choir was still quite young. We will look at that again in the summer, it won’t be in the Easter concert.

WE BUILD THIS CITY rang out from the speaker as we all tried to come in at the right time. This version was shorted too. 

And with harmonies, we sang KISS ME. We sang it a capela a couple of times before Ed asked for more life and expression. Smile. Then Ed said we would leave it as it was nearly perfect. 

Also needing animation is BRIGHT EYES and Ed said LOVELY and we moved on to THE PRAYER with him at the piano. He said it could have been worse. We worked hard on the middle bit. 

Mumbles as we found the lyrics to THE RIDDLE and Ed loaded up the backing track. There’s a cross over part where the chorus repeats which makes us sound very clever. Oh yes it does. 

Light entertainment from HOLD ME CLOSE next and our new old song BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO and what fun that is. 

We stood to perform I KNOW HIM SO WELL …

Well done yipppeeeeee etc  xxxx
