The director of the group I sing with every Tuesday morning approached me this last week and asked if I would prepare to sing a solo number with the group. You could have knocked me over with a cotton ball. You see besides being shy I have a relatively soft voice. And my Parkinson's Disease is making it even softer. But Donna is not one to take a simple "I'd rather not." Instead, she said, "Go ahead and pick one out. It's not like you can't say no later!" So I asked if there were any restrictions and she said it should be a number that is in her collection of music, my collection, or just something we know. In other words, pretty much anything.
Our "theme" this semester is "moisture". As soon as I got home I started looking through my music books, quickly finding three numbers that at least brushed against that theme: Singing in the Rain, September in the Rain, and Catch a Falling Star (save it for a rainy day). If I can get it to work, I'd really like to do Catch a Falling Star with some or all of the group singing the backup (echo) part. Should be an interesting experience.
