yes, it's a little early, but...

...one can never celebrate St. Patrick's Day too soon. Besides the vocal ensemble is singing this song.* This Saturday at 3pm at Westdale United Church (corner of Sterling and King). Van Morrison will NOT be making an appearance. I hope this does not influence your decision to attend.



*Also to be performed is a wicked jazz combo/choir version of Blue Skies.
And Java Jive.
And three arrangements of spirituals (Wade in the Water, Steal Away to Jesus, Joshua Fit the Battle) which I may have to--ahem--borrow indefinitely from the music department because I love them so much.
And I personally will be conducting Oscar Peterson's Hymn to Freedom, also with wicked jazz combo accompanying.

And various assorted "Irish" tunes. Of course Danny Boy shall not be overlooked. By the way, I never realized that Danny Boy was so morbid. I actually got a good look the words as I turned pages for the accompanist today. The narrator is freaking dead, and calling from the grave to her loved one to come join her.
