Thread Name: Suggestions for Rise Up Singing II
Subject: RE: Suggestions for Rise Up Singing II
I hang out at used CD stores and end up with all sorts of treasures other people considered worthless. My most recent "find" was a Gilbert & Sullivan Karaoke CD.
I think it would be grand if RUS would have a few G&S songs. I'd suggest "Buttercup," "We Sail the Ocean Blue," and "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General." I love to sing the one about the monarch of the sea and his sisters and his cousins and his aunts, but that one is a bit obscure.
....Oh, and in the name of honesty, I have to admit that my favorite place for singing G&S was at work. A coworker and I would rock the Sacramento Federal Building with "Buttercup." Maybe that's why they make me work out of my home now....
