I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         I joined a choir tonight. It was good to sing with a group, to try to blend in, to follow a director who has his own interpretation. Of course, all the music was new to me, so I didn't hit all the notes or even most of them. One song had tricky rhythms; I worried more about not singing in the wrong place or missing the beat than I did the notes.

         I brought all the music with me, so I can figure it out on my own.Maybe by the next rehearsal I can sound a little more sure without mistakes. There are so many pianists in this group, who know what the notes are.

         I never claimed to have a good voice. We didn't try out. The leader just assumed I could sing the part I claimed. I actually have a limited range. But as long as the director will tolerate me, I will sing, because I like singing. I like being a part of a group that works together for a common purpose, takes its cues, and is disciplined enough to produce something worthwhile and enjoyable. Teamwork feels good.

         So working on the music will take time away from other things. I'll figure out something.
