[Now Playing: another mix off Youtube [link]]
   The mix tonight is virtually all choral music....but a mix of periods....mostly religious/liturgical....the first time I sang in church....I sang a duet with my sister on "Children's Day"....I was 5 and 1/2 years old....and already sang harmony....and have sung in various groups for most  of my life....and mostly hymns and religious music....from Gregorian chant through Baroque and classical....through to contemporary Christian music....unfortunately age has taken my singing voice....I was a high tenor....and 60 years old is usually the age where the voice goes....and I'm past that by a long ways....but I still love the music....I wrote this a few years ago but it sums up what music has meant to me....

Music how oft' to you I have run

you have been many times my safe place my solace

I embrace you I cover myself within your warm embrace

Regardless of what the world....life

may throw my way in your arms

how often have I found refuge

and also the answers I seek

To you have I so oft' run

and you always seem to know what I seek

whether classical, liturgical, or even rock and roll

and if I don't find the answers I seek

I always return relaxed, and with a new perspective

and can return to my world, my life, renewed
