More great singing on Wednesday – we seemed full of the joys of spring.
This coming week we will sing Summer is a-comin’ once more and finish Lighter than Hydrogen and, with luck, Stille der Nacht along with One Man’s Hands (held over from last time), Don’t Worry Be Happy + Love is Here and Alleluia as warm-ups. Words of Don’t Worry attached. Please print them out yourselves if you can and maybe a spare copy to pass onto the needy!
