This week's Weekly Geek assignment is from Chris of Book-a-Rama: What are you passionate about besides reading and blogging? Get us involved. Link to tutorials, recipes, Youtube videos, websites, fan sites, etc, anything that will help us learn more about your interest
Those of you who read Worducopia regularly will know that I usually pick a song to match each book I review--my way of sharing my other passion with you regularly. My taste in music is pretty eclectic, from folk to alternative rock to reggae to classical.
And then there's the choir I've been a member of for the past 15 years, which is so much more than music to me. It's part of our UU church, so the music is all wrapped up in who we are spiritually, and the other singers are our dear ones. The first people I called after my son was born were, in this order: My parents, my sister, my in-laws, my choir director.Please click here for the rest of this post and to hear us singing.
Beautiful! I loved the Chatman song. lovely, lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you are so connected with music and then put that personal touch on your book reviews.
ReplyDeleteAli,
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you so much for this post. It reminds me of what a joy it is to sing with a group, something I will have to look into this coming year. I love visiting Portland. We have friends there and always manage a stop at Powell's on the way to or from the Oregon Coast.
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about how I would put some music into my blog and I like how you've done it. You obviously have very eclectic tastes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful choir!
ReplyDeleteThanks for an interesting post. It is fun to see what other Weekly Geeks are doing beside reading and blogging :-)
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you sing in a choir. As much as I love music, I've never been able to sing or play an instrument, so I'm a little in awe of people who do :)
ReplyDeleteAh, very cool. I love it. Singing. Another thing I've always wanted to be able to do. That one just isn't ever going to happen. So I guess I'll just be happy listening to everyone else do it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Just beautiful. I forget, since I don't attend church, just how amazing a choir can be. Thanks for the wonderful listening pleasure. I really, really loved that.
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful! I wish I could sing well. Music is my passion too, but I'm a flute player.
ReplyDeleteSinging in a choir is such a wonderful way of being together. I also sing in our local church choir. I often feel tired when I ´have to go´, but I am always happy when I come home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful choir. I love music ministries. Music can reach so many people that might otherwise have a closed heart.
ReplyDeleteHappy Singing!
Wow, you guys sound wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for the encouraging comments and for taking the time to listen to the songs! I haven't had as much computer time as usual this week so I won't even try to respond personally to each of you, but do want you to know that I do read each comment and appreciate them so much.
