Back to the Future

 Hi Everyone.  My oh my what a long time it has been since we posted.  Sadly, during this time 3 of our members have died.  We will miss our wonderful John Hollis and his lovely English accent and fun quips.  Carmen Holbrough was a joy to have in our choir.  Singing was his last language and his eyes twinkled and he sang with fervor when the song was one of "his".  John Hinchcliffe died very suddenly and boy will we miss his fine bass. They each brought such joy to their singing and will be missed greatly. 

Our accompanist Kristy, lost her brother BJ, to an unexpected accident.  I knew BJ from my teaching days and he was always a big supporter of everything Kristy did.  He leaves a big space. 

ETS will sing again August 8 outside and spaced.  It won't be quite the social affair we usually have but it will be our first time in a year and a half.  It was suggested that we sing Fare Thee Well Love in memory of our friends who won't be joining us.  This video won't play from our blog post so hit the little button on the bottom left corner to go to YouTube and play the Mendlessohn Choir Fare Thee Well Love.
