Hey, Ron and Ebbie:

How nice to see you both!

Ruth, our son Pasha and I have been installing 90 feet of white vinyal fencing panels on one side of our property, and I've spen so much time in the sun that I'm starting to look more Native American than Danish American. Actually, un-installing the old wooden stockade fencing and posts turned out to be at least as much work. Now, I'm replanting and seeding all the scarred ground. Should keep me out of trboule for a couple more weeks.

We did the Gospel Messengers songs with guitar, Ron. A notch past a capella, because I use the guitar to lay down rhtyhms and chord changes without a lof of fancy runs. One of the three songs, I just use the guitar to get us started, and then we do it a capella. The doo wop group is totally a caeplla, although they are trying to encorporate a full band to accompany them After their initial enthusiasm, they've discovered how hard it is to rearrange all their material for a band (who like to take solos...)

I like singing a capella. A lot less equipment to carry.

Do a capella singers need a head case? Or are they one?
