Well, when I was in fifth grade in the St. Rita School choir in Racine Wisconsin, Sister John Bosco said that Ronny Benedict and I were "really sharp." At the time, we thought it was a compliment, and we thought it was really cool that Sister liked our singing. By the time I finished eighth grade, I had actually learned something.
It was just kind of expected that everybody would sing, not only the kids in the choir. Too bad it isn't that way nowadays, but I was pleased to sing Friday with a kindergarten teacher who says she sings with her students every day.
