From Pete Jones

A big THANK YOU to Ron Weaver for engineering the program for rehearsal last Thursday in lieu of our director and several members of the Chorus being away at the midwinter convention.

It was decided to concentrate on the polecat love songs instead of our regular repertory. This allowed those that attended to sing either in Chorus mode or quartet mode and try different combinations of members on the same songs. The end result was giving members time to hone their individual skills and seek possible fill ins for a Valentine quartet.

There were approximately 20 men in attendance. 4 were from the Cleveland chapter including Wyatt McCarter who was a big help with his directing/coaching efforts. I did my part by unlocking the door and then singing when I was told too, ha!

We had a great time in San Antonio! The Seniors Chorus sang well, and Silver Ring was pleased with what we put on the stage. But as always I'm glad to be home!

On Thursday we will focus on being OFF THE MUSIC on "Little Street... Please come prepared on that song. We'll also begin working on Old Folks at Home this week. It's on the website so please give it a look before Thursday!

A special thanks to Ron Weaver for helping us get prepared for Valentine's Day! I'm looking forward to Thursday! Jimmy Tompkins

Thanks to the members who participated in the extra Rehearsal for Valentines! You worked hard (and smart) for two hours and had coaching from a Gold Medal Champion! Exposure and time spent with such skill is priceless! ! Ron Weaver
