What an awesome night! I got home a couple of hours ago, but can't seem to sleep, so I decided to write about our chorale practice we had tonight. I sing with the, "Sally Bytheway Chorale". We practice on Thursday nights and we are only a couple of practices away from our performances in May. Natalie was invited to play along with our accompanists, Pat with the song called "Cindy" by Mack Wilberg. It was the first time they got together to play and they were awesome! Might I add, Natalie had the hard part, their fingers were just flying over the keyboard! It was hard to concentrate on my singing because I was so caught up in their playing. We have a mini orchestra that accompanies us on several songs also. They come four weeks before our concerts and practice with us, they are also wonderful! I am so excited about our four concerts in May! I am especially proud of our daughter Natalie. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Strong for giving us that piano when Natalie was just a little girl. You would be very proud of your granddaughter!Thursday, April 23, 2009

Does that song "Cindy" go something like this, "My true loves a blue eyed Cindy, hi hoe hi hoe didle I dae. If I don't get her I'll go crazy, hi hoe hi hoe didle I dae." If so, then I remember singing that song, if not then oh well. I love that you are singing and enjoying it so much. And yes, Natalie is amazing on the piano. A lot of talent. Can't wait to see you in a couple months.
and we aren't invited to rachel's blog either so if you get in touch tell her to add us
No Michael, the Cindy we are singing is pretty complicated, not to say yours was not hard. We split up into two different choirs and sing 8 different parts. The song gets to be very confussing but fun at the same time. Thanks for asking!
I admire Natalie's talent and wish that I could play like her. I hope one of our kids carries on her talent!
