Don’t judge, don’t judge, don’t judge… But didn’t you inspire me?
Can I just say this pretentious scot, for one, hopes you post more of these?
Only if they get better, right?
(The damn wheel isn’t round, it wobbles, and the crank wants to unscrew every two minutes. I can’t tell if gurdy is more frustrating than cheese making…)
Is that Vladimir Putin?
Would you believe… Vladimir Putin playing bass while wearing a Jah Wobble mask?
IS HE WEARING A SHIRT?
Is he wearing Jah Wobbles shirt?
Riley? Is that you?
Wait, how did I teleport over here? WTH?
Are you near a hellmouth?
Well, I’m at work ain’t I?
Anyone else lose their likes first thing this morning for no apparent reason, but now they’re back?
How excellent is that?
How do I retrospectively tell if I lost my likes and now they are back?
Ever take that saying “fake it 'til you make it” to heart, and end up doing better by faking than you would have if you’d prepared?
Ain’t that the mofo truth? Isn’t unbridled confidence literally the only skill you need? (Besides being sassy? (I AM SASSY!))
Why are we singing a small part of our new piece (practiced once, basically, and without the orchestra accompaniment) in a church in the middle of what may be the last nice Saturday afternoon before the weather starts to turn?
All for the greater glory of the Choral G-d?
And isn’t it – literally – for the greater glory of the choral director’s God? Is it possible we sing more overtly Christian songs than the Sacred Music choir at the church where we’ll be singing tomorrow? (And they perform about 4 times as often as we do, always in that actual church.)
But aren’t I learning an incredible amount about many genres and time periods in choral history, as well as general music theory? And isn’t it hard to find an amateur choral group that isn’t officially part of a church? And don’t we sing world music instead every winter?
