Looks like I need to put on a fresh pot of coffee.

You know, sometimes when you just go ahead and do something unselfish for someone else, you find yourself swimming in blessings.
Even though I may never perform with the doo wop group, The Sentinels, I've given it more thought and decided that I am going to learn the harmonies and words to as many songs as I can, and go to their practices. I'll be ready, even if I'm never used. And, ya never know. The unexpected blessing is that two of the Sentinels want to learn the Messengers repertoire so that they can fill in when we need them. They were so appreciative that I wanted to help them out, with no expectation that I'd ever get to sing with them that they wanted to do something in return. So look out for the first Doo Wospel ninetet.

We're having Messengers practice here at the house tomorrow morning, and the next time we have a Tuesday night practice, Joe and Ken from the Sentinels want to come. I've got a couple of gospel songs that need a doo wop background (one of which I wrote with that specifically in mind.) That was before I knew the Sentinels existed.
They call it being ahead of the curve.
