Singing, Part II
Today's blog will be mercifully short because I don't want to beat to death the subject of singing (see last week's entry below).
I thought I would be flooded with comments about my decision. But the seas have been surprisingly calm...so far. Maybe it will take a while for the storm to brew. Or maybe this just isn't as much of a hot issue as I thought.
However, when we do sing I think we should have gobs of fun doing it. That is why I have asked our incredibly talented Bill Cowdery and Siu-Ling to add fun and spice to the menu. When we raise the chorus, I want us to enjoy it.
I may get some danders up when I say the songs we have been singing are so (early!) Twentieth Century. I don't think we'll be rapping anytime soon. But, The Times, They Are A'Changin!

Hi Rich,
As a singer I was suprised to hear that many members were against singing at the meetings. I wonder, however, what was the question that prompted the negative response? I have an idea the rsponse may have been more "tuned" to the "age" of the tunes rather than the negative response to music..in general:-)

I want to sing Imagine by John Lennon because it seems to incorporate the values of Rotary. I agree with Don that many of the complaints have to do with the age of the songs, but it is true that there are some people who just plan don't like to sing (not me!)
