Your Quotes for 5 November 2005 - Singers

I've always loved to sing; I'm loud, energetic, and it makes me feel good. There are folks at church who love it when I sing, but I fear this is because they know my voice will mask any errors they might make. But Singers became today's theme because of the birthday list which includes Franz Xavier Gruber (composer of Silent Night, 1787 in Austria), Leonard Slye (performed as Roy Rogers, 1912 at Cincinnati, Ohio), Ike Turner (1931 at Clarksdale, Mississippi), Art Garfunkel (1941 at Forest Hills, New York), Gram Parsons (1946 at Winter Haven, Florida), Peter Noone (Herman of Herman and the Hermits, 1947 at Manchester, England), and Bryan Adams (1959 at Kingston, Ontario, Canada).

  I sang long years ago,
For heart and voice would fail me,
  And foolish tears would flow.

Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.
