Thanks so much, Art: That means a lot to me, and Joe will grin from ear to ear when I tell him. Whatever kind of music a group sings, it is a real blessing if everyone is singing for the music, and takes as much pleasure out of everyone's elses singing or playing as they do their own. Joe is 78, and has never had this kind of attention, so you can imagine how much this all means to him. He is one of the most generous, loving men I have ever met, and even though he loves praise (like we all do) he isn't singing for praise, and he is equally overwhelmed if one of the other members of the group recieves special attention.

The old hymnn says it all for us: "How Can I Keep From Singing." We sing out of joy and conviction for everyone, believer or unbeliever.
Some of our greatest fans are jews and atheists, we love ya all..
