I'm still singin'..

What an evening. What a jazz evening. My friend called and asked if I would accompany her to a jazz night as her husband wasn't into this kind of "stuff".

Who in their right mind would NOT go to a jazz night. It brought back fine memories of a year ago at our conference Annual Meeting and the "jazz coffee house" we had in our church basement. It was so very cool.

So, last evening was somewhat like that. The trio of gals "Arioso" and a trio of guys "The Jazz Guise" to be exact. The gals sang stuff from the '40's by the Andrew's Sisters....I was singing away to myself with them. When I was small, the radio was on from morning 'til night in our house. We didn't have TV. Not only that, but my Mom sang these songs all day long too. I learned them all. So, it was kind of a walk down memory lane for me. Then came the songs from the '60's and my teenage years...."It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...cry if I want to, cry if I want to, You would cry too if it happened to you!" Oh ya. Good times.

Then the fellows played and the pianist sang "Mac the Knife" and James Taylor's "Fire and Rain". Wanna' sing? Let's do it.......Ready.........

"Fire And Rain

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were
gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this
song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never
end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find
a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh,I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would
never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find
a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy
time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone
line to talk about things
to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in
pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would
never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find
a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you,
baby, one more time again."

It's great to have friends who think about me 
and ask me to enjoy a special evening like this with them.

Talk about talent here in P.A.  Incredible!!!

God gives good gifts to his people....and the people use
them to benefit others.  I'd go back to hear them in a 
second.

Ya, I'm still singin'....."Don't sit under the apple
tree, with anyone else but me....anyone else but me......
anyone else but me, no, no, no......."

"Oh the shark has, pearly teeth dear,....."

It's good to sing too, don't forget.....and it doesn't
matter what others think about your singing either!

La, la, la, la, hummmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, da, da, da...
