Nothing is more fun than this "blend our voices and sing praise"

I loved to sing, and harmonize. A pity my special harmonizer is no longer available. This is an interesting form Milt, and you seem to use it effortlessly. :)

There's something very sanctimonious about choir voices raised in songs of praise. It's been a while since I've written a Yalto, but I'll give it a try. Yours is wonderfully scribed, Milt.

Me, too, Tom. Over the years I have directed many choirs and community cantatas. I especially enjoyed preparing for the Christmas specials.
