Sorry, Foolstroupe. I just don't understand your two references to the Air Force.

At my little home in River City, helicopters go over (hospital-bound), private planes putt-putt towards the old airport, and jets streak overhead heading for Kansas City International airport. Two days ago we had grackles in the birdbath. But no Air Force that I know of.

Poppagator, your church music sounds very fine, but perhaps a little too challenging for the vocal foot soldier.

By the way, I have been singing in a large choir since 1991, and in that time I have heard only three people who can accurately read a line of vocal music. Many people think they can, but they wobble.

So don't worry that you aren't as expert as some. You are doing well.
