This is an important thing to do

Singing praises of music makers
"Sunday gathering to honor 864 Catholic choir members, cantors, musicians in Summit; 59 serve for at least 50 years"


I've sung in choirs for most of my life. I'm not a great singer but I can do choral singing without causing glass to shatter or making people's hair stand on end. My dear wife and partner, SWMBO (see the right side link ), is a choir director for one of our parish's Masses. I know how hard and anxiety-producing the work can be. These people deserve all the kudos they can get, and we so often forget about them as if they're just part of the celebration 'furniture'. It's good to honour them.
