“Pining for a round
of Ehre Sei Gott... Dreaming of that handsome Gypsy Rover...
Wishing you were far away on the Wings of a Dove?”
With such seduction only dire
circumstances could have prevented any self-respecting ‘T16er’ from accepting
Eric’s captivating and kind invitation to reunite and relive fond memories of
our European Tour.
And so it was that on a balmy
evening on Friday, February 3rd, those who were able to, gathered at
66 East Street to enjoy Eric’s hospitality in the surrounds of his delightful
garden where 20 something Tourers shared a table full of enticing culinary contributions,
Eric’s colourful fruity concoction, for many, fortified by the odd drop of wine
and the memories made during that amazing magical musical 2016 tour.
However, a themed evening such as
this devoid of "loosening up the vocal chords" would have been an
evening unfinished and as the sun melted into the horizon and Eric’s blinking pathways
and pebbles became an illumination to rival the stars; with Alexis poised at
her music stand also singing in support of the depleted sop 1s and Margaret’s always
faultless however this night futile attempts in the open air to make herself heard
at the piano , we sang our songs with
gusto and longing. That’s the beauty of
singing in this Choir...the constant striving for something more even after the
last journey has ended.
