Wanting Memories

Here are IMHO the best versions of Wanting Memories from YouTube. Of course one by Sweet Honey in the Rock. The Yale version gives some interesting ideas of additional parts we could incorporate or get inspiration from. If my ears aren't wrong I think they have 6 or 7 different parts by the end. The Auburn (War Eagle!) version has an alto line that sounds different than the others - to me anyway - more ideas.

Other versions I found I agree with Elaine - really slow or sometimes just not good.

If anyone is interested I have the MP3 of the Cantus version, too, if we want to listen for more voice lines/ideas to mix in. I think the Yale one has the most different/varied parts tho.

Julian of Norwich on Adversity

• If there is anywhere on earth a lover of God who is always kept safe, I know nothing of it, for it was not shown to me. But this was shown: that in falling and rising again we are always kept in that same precious love.

• He said not 'Thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed, thou shalt not be dis-eased'; but he said, 'Thou shalt not be overcome.'

so Julian of Norwich's saint day is my birthday :)

SUSAN CLAY  please put note on calendar.  I couldn't do so

Next Show

I like Heather's idea of making part of the show  a bit about UU somehow.  Not sure  how.  the jokes are ok with me-- though  it hard to find ones that are not overdone....

  t o borrow a page from traditional religion:

 I attended a similar evening  event at Peace Congregational a few years ago and in the  midst of all the music someone gave what they call a " testimony"  of what the church meant to them.  It was  very moving to hear this man talk about the value of finally finding a church " home".  

IF  we found the right speaker-- this might be possible. 

But   would    it be important to make it different than the services we sometimes do on what UU means to me? 

re rehearsal times:  I had to leave last night at 6: 30---  thanks for the support

I 'm fine with regularly meeting till 7.  Is that what everyone else thinks we are doing ?

 Does anyone have any congas?
