Dear Singers, Thanks to all of you for a wonderful and memorable concert on Sunday! I assure you that this was a highlight for me, as well as a showcase for your fine talent as singers. There have been excellent reviews from members of the audience, as we always hope there will be. A few “housekeeping” items are important here:
Best, When I have sung my songs to you I’ll sing no more, T’would be a sacrilege to sing at another door. We’ve worked so hard to hold our dreams just you and I. I could not share them all again I’d rather die with just the thought that I had loved so well so true. That I could never sing again, that I could never never sing again except to you! Larry ![]()
