I love to sing and have thought about joining the sweet adelines group, but it is 65 miles away. Yes, I agree with Lisa that our society wants to push the button and be entertained. Too bad people miss the joy of singing together. There is no comparison between a recording and live performance for the singer and listener. We could encourage singing as my Grandma did, by calling everyone around the piano for a sing-songs during family gatherings. Melody, keep us posted about your new endeavour!
