That’s Why I Send This To You


That’s Why I Send This To You

Were we a good choir, we would not sing in a church service but in a concert hall, as Andre Rieu with professional singers, soloists, orchestra, camera men, sound system, dedicated for educated concert lovers,  making DVD’s, share it with the whole world, not like us, amateur singers of 70 – 80 years without any musical education, practice before, with but an organ a bit out of tune, recorded with but an i Pad, not in a studio, dedicated to but church goers, but second class music listeners, lovers.

That’s why I send this to you, i.e. uncombed, not shaved, in shorts, slippers, daily wear, (meaning: raw, unedited, Chew) I don’t need to make a show of myself, except ...

you feel yourself still too clever, too smart, too educated, to humble yourself listening to this simple piece. Ha. Ha.

 
Yet we very enjoy singing and I, we, are proud of it and have broadcast this in You Tube.

That’s the choir conductor’s e mail to his sister abroad.
