As noted above, our husband-and-wife choir director team is somewhat more talented than absolutely necessary; some of the members are pretty highly qualified, too. We've had several working jazz singers, one of the fellows belongs to the local opera company chorus, and I just learned that one of the ladies once won an all-Ireland competition as an unaccompanied English-language singer. I feel like I'm getting away with something just to be allowed to hang with such distinguished company...
