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!

"Life is not measured with the quantity of breaths you take, but with the quantity of moments that took your breath away..."
In case anyone wants to sing with their loved ones tonight...here is the "Anglicized" version of the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne. (The "authentic" Scottish version is kind of a difficult mouthful for most folks, so this is a version everyone can join in with.):
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup !
And surely I'll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the hills,
and pulled the daisies fine ;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine (dinner time) ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there's a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o' thine !
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
