"A Dram Before Breakfast" by the Icelandic group South River Band was the warm up music for our group of 18 today and after opening up the vocal chords and mobilising the facial muscles, we learned a new song "Love Somebody, Yes I Do!" a folk song of Scandinavian origins and well suited to call and response treatment.
Getting on to the instruments, we revisited White Swans, singing and playing it in 4-part round, which went remarkably well considering that several people were learning it on the hoof.
After coffee we made a start on learning to play the tune "Love Somebody" - a good training for the musical ear.
Finally we spent some time on Angus, singing the verses and fitting in the side drum, timpani, bells and bass xylophone. This is coming along nicely and believe me, one day soon, will all fit beautifully together.
As we ended the session, there was a 'happening'! The fire doors suddenly flew open letting in brilliant rays of sunshine - the 'six golden angels' had come to join us!
