@mcden If you are close in age to me (I'm 72 yeas old) then we are of the generation where our emotions were diminished and we were told to toughen up. After all, my parents made it through the Great Depression and WWII so what did I have to complain about?

I'd like to think that my ability to find harmony with others at impromptu jam sessions is from the many years I sang in choir as a teen. What kind of music do you like to sing?

Here is a piece that our choir did last Spring. It's representative of some of the music we do and I just fell in love with singing this. I'm Alto 1 and can sometimes sing Soprano 2.

Sainte-Chapelle by Eric Whitacre (we did an all Eric Whitacre program last Spring):

That’s exactly what my mother used to say - “stop whining”
But this past year I lost a beloved yellow lab, my husband of 58 years and just yesterday a shepherd mix that has helped me through all the other losses and I am so sad. I adopted her at age 8 last March and her death was unexpected and too quick. I was looking forward to at least a few years with her.
