The SonShiners made their debut last night at the Humboldt Music Club and they were a BIG hit. All those grueling Monday practices with that slave driving director paid off with a great program, "Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs."
When we started this choir for "seasoned singers" ('old vocalists' didn't sound politically correct) in September, I had no preconceived idea what would transpire. I wanted to provide an opportunity for seniors with a song to continue singing. If they sounded decent, that would be icing on the cake.
I've heard senior adult groups before and, while I applauded their effort, I was not quite as impressed with their execution (firing squad at dawn).
Make no mistake (okay, maybe a few .. very few) about it, this group can sing .. in parts. Many are former choir members who sang for years. Others have always wanted to sing, but never had the chance .. until now.
Humboldt and the surrounding metroplex area, look out for the SonShiners.
We're here. We're clear. Get used to it.
