[Choir] Fwd: Service last night

[Lani Seifert]

Hi Donia,
I am so happy that you sent us the video.  I agree with Paula too.  This
gave me goose bumps and I felt a little choked up to hear our wonderful
choir, under your excellent direction sing so well.  It was fun to be a
“back-up singer” to Verdis whose voice is sublime.  A fabulous Lyric
Baritone, as he describes himself.  Wow!  Can we top that?   That was a
real show-stopper!
Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice and Happy New Year.
Lani
