[Choir] IMPORTANT! are you here for Luminosity?

[Steve Finner]

Hi Richard:

I assume the rehearsals are March 23, 30, and April 6.   I am conducting 
the choir at the St. Johnsbury congregation for the installation of 
their developmental minister April 2 and that rehearsal is Mar 30.  Also 
I have not been feeling great these days, so will forego and be content 
ot listen. I do want to come by and take a look at the music this week.

On another subject, I left a copy of Scott's Jazz Arrangements of Hymns 
in your mail slot.
