I was in the Boychoir too...
OMG. I was leaving the Greenwood Safeway, and there were these two cute little boys selling raffle tickets. I have to say, I'm bad and don't normally stop, but I did a double take and saw they were selling tickets to raise money for the Northwest Boychoir!!! I said "I'll buy a ticket, I was in the boychoir too!" and they asked if I knew their choir master. I paused and realized I was in the boyschoir in 1981...30 YEARS AGO! I said there's a good chance your choirmaster wasn't born yet. I then told them we sold record albums to raise money and the asked "what's that?" Their Dad then asked if I still sing, and I paused again with sadness... Noel chimed in, "he sings in the shower and car". That made me sad to think after college I stopped being in a group of vocalist. Some of the best times I have ever had were that rich fullfilling feeling of being in the middle of a choir. From the Boychoir to my High School's Jazz Choir to my University's Chamber choir, along with a Barbershop Quartet I was in, it was all so fun. Once in a while I have a fleeting moment of thinking I'm going to try out for the Seattle Mens Chorus or Seattle Symphony Chorale, but then I let it go into the "some days"...
