Eight straight days at work, and a twelve-hour day the day before, left me with little energy for singing. Not long before the break, my voice got smaller and smaller and at last I just stopped trying to sing, and listened to the altos. They were worth listening to: Linda and the three Eric(k)as were singing particularly well tonight, with that warm powerful vocal quality I particularly like in Sacred Harp altos; and I particularly noticed how a good alto section can drive the rhythm of the rest of the class.
Posted a week late, had no time all last week!
