Saturday Respite: Singing the Praises of Chocolate

I'm not sure which was funnier, the thoroughly befuddled conductor or the ego-maniacal singers.

    Marie, I feel certain that a jury of your peers would not convict you if you did.  Carla Strandberg

    I’ve been hired this month to interim for a choir, to help them transition to their new director who starts next month.  The first thing I did–because I knew this would be a tough gig–was to buy a big box from Costco of REESE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!  Yes, I really did. And if rehearsals and services go well, I give myself at least one, if not two, peanut butter cups as reward. And, I too, remember this commerical and like it then and like it now.  Chocolate helps.  And I deserve it after listening to an accompanist  tell me singers aren’t really musicians.  I didn’t bite her head off–but I wanted to!

    Hah!  I’m old enough to remember that ad.
     
    And here’s a very fun choral piece about the wonderfulness of chocolate, “The Chocolate Carol” by David Avshalomov:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSVe_8mf6Wk
