when i was a newcomer to song circle, i came with a classical music degree and the ability to sightread music. both were minimally useful. i could sing along on the choruses, though. yup, i could sing. and what a joy it was to sing along wiith those other passionate voices!

i found the first few months of belonging to the circle to be a difficult learning curve, but after about a year, i began to have a few things worthy to contribute. now some songs i've written have become part of the repertoire.

i think it takes more that a couple of tries to get the feel of a group. and i think that every group is very different from the next.

peter, maybe i was just very lucky to start out in the group i did! another group may not have been so patient with me, or i with it.
