[Choir] singing outside this Wednesday!

[Stephen Finner]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mary Alice "God Danced The Day You Were Born" ������

 I am still solitary and not going near people.

And now a Holly Near story.  Barbara and I went to hear her at Lyndon State
10-15 years ago and she introduced "Gentle, Angry... saying "This song is
in the Unitarian Hymnal and Unitarians are always coming up to me with
their words or the words of their choir director or whomever and I love
hearing those.  So if any of you are here tonight, come on up when we are
done"   Highly unusual for a songwriter to say it's ok to change my words.
No, I did not go up with different words (smile).
