Subject: RE: How was your St. Patrick's Day?
Great

Irish Cultural Society (Calgary) Choir sang at Saturday noon in St. Mary's Cathedral. Then we went next door to the parish hall and sang with no sound system for about 200 people all scarfing down sandwiches and coffee. I figured I would find out how loud I could sing and still stay on pitch so I belted my solo (verses) of Crossing the Water (Bill Staines, honorary Irish for the day). Satisfied my curiosity about my max volume for once and for all.

Monday night the choir did 5 songs at the ICS centre. Did the solo verses again but had a mike this time.

This marks the 10th year that we have performed at the cathedral for St. Patrick's
