Sounds fantastic, Alice: Only in Missoula. I've been in Missoula, ny the way. Many years ago, when I was in college studying geology. We went on a field trip out west. Two years ago, my wife and I were in Montana long enough to take a picture to prove that my wife was there. We were on our way out to Yellowstone and took a side trip just to go into Montana briefly. It's a beautiful state.
And all them choirs? That must be exciting!

The thing that I like about the Men's Chorus (Choruses) I'm in is that we don't sing from sheet music. Push comes to shove, we can do it... and did sing two "arranged" gospel hymns last night. But, 95% of the songs that we sing we learn by ear. I like the freedom of being able to sing without looking at a sheet of paper. Everyone to their own tastes, and singing without music limits the complexity of the arrangements. But then, we are not a Chorale. If we were, I guess we'd just be the O.K. Chorale.

Couldn't resist...
