Musical Monday - You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
Here at our place, Mr. Grinch was no where to be seen. There was nothing but generosity and smiles everywhere. I pray your Christmas was just as great. This song is too fun not to share and the harmonies are swell. Enjoy!

Musical Monday - Mary, Did You Know? - Peter Hollens
One of the best choir leaders I have had the privilege to work with, Ron McNutt, shared this wonderful version of Mary Did You Know? with me. The harmony is quite lovely. Now, think about the technical genius in getting this all to blend and work so well.
As one of ETS's favourite pieces, we are always excited to find a new arrangement. Sit back and enjoy this lovely version.
Thanks, Ron.

Musical Monday - Great Answers to Really Weird Questions - 12 Days of Christmas Style
Sometimes, people can be really silly and ask the most ridiculous questions. Instead of being upset or angry, this family has chosen to take it in stride and have some fun. Remember this the next time someone says something untoward when your choir sings. For example, "Your choir was a bit flat on the chorus." Well first of all, you are either flat or not. It is like being a "bit" pregnant but that is beside the point. When someone makes a comment like that I am wont to say, "That's great. I would love for you to come to our next practice and help us hear the correct intonation." Watch the back peddling happen!!
Listen to these great comebacks.
Listen to these great comebacks.
