Even more reactions!

Here are some thoughts from Carol. She also says her husband filmed the final concert of the summer course, so if maybe we can make a little link... Meanwhile, here's Carol :

ça fait déjà 3 jours que c'est fini, et j'ai l'impression d'y être encore!!!
Non je ne regrette rien (!).... Pour le concert, quelle bande d'idiotes ses
sopranes qui ont fait des histoires pour ne pas être devant, parce que nous,
avec Maureen, on avait une super vue, chanter à 2 mètres de Karen Gibson et la
voir chanter, je vous promets que c'est un souvenir inoubliable!! Que du
bonheur ces 3 jours ! Si je suis libre l'an prochain, je remets ça! Merci à
notre Gospella pour nous avoir entraîner dans pareil aventure, merci aussi à
vous tous pour votre bonne humeur, votre bon humour et vos bons petits
plats. Je vous souhaite à tous de bonnes vacances, on se retrouve en
septembre avec plaisir.

BIG BIZ

It's already been three days since everything has finished and I still feel like I'm there!!! I don't regret a moment ("Je ne regrette rien..." dixit Edith PIAF - Gospella) As for the concert, what a bunch of twits there was in the sopranos, all complaining about not wanting to be in front, because Maureen and I had a great view singing two metres away from Karen Gibson and watching her singing too, honestly it was an unforgettable memory!! 3 days of pure joy! If I'm free next year I'm signing up again! Thanks to our Gospella for taking us on this adventure with her, and thanks to all the rest of you for your good humour, your fun and your tasty little dishes. I wish you all happy holidays and see you in September with great pleasure.
Hugs,
Carol.

It's very interesting what Carol says about the squabbling sopranos. She and I both sing soprano but weren't standing together. I also had constant bickering of sopranos behind me as they all wanted me to stand at the back, saying I was too tall. The problem was, I had to be near the front to get to a microphone for interpreting. I guess some people are never happy!

This wraps up the comments I've received from our group.

Meanwhile I've been composing a song for our choir to learn this autumn : I'm still working on some of the harmonisations but I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I started it before the summer course but have had no time to get back to the writing. I really wish my piano skills were better honed so I could make less of a meal of transferring the music from my head to the page! I have been practising in odd moments of freedom but a hectic lifestyle doesn't leave me much of those and I know I'll never be an accomplished pianist. Never mind. My voice is definitely my instrument. I hope to use it a little more this next year by auditioniing for another gospel choir (while keeping up our un-named one and the village choir, which will mean abandining another activity). I'll let you know what happens there in the autumn.

I think it is time that our "experiment" got a name. It would make us feel a little more permanent. I'll see what our friends can come up with. Your suggestions, dear Reader, are welcome too : just click on "Comments" at the bottom of this article and make your suggestion.
Hope to hear from you soon,
