Another refreshing sing last night. Chattanooga, In My Life and Stille der Nacht are all sounding great and we made a good start on Steve’s (bass) arrangement of We’ll Meet Again too. Thankyou Steve. Next week we will continue with We’ll Meet Again and make a start on Cole Porter’s Ev’rytime You Say Goodbye in preparation for Shaftesbury’s VE Day celebrations. Time permitting, we’ll also be singing Viva La Musica, Every time I feel the Spirit, Ani Couni and the Georgian drinking song (Mravalza miev) that we sang with Sian a couple of weeks ago.
