Trying to get ready for Bible School quick this week because I'm in N.Y. all of next week. See, one must treat these traggic scenes with a great deal of respect. One cannot hastily grab a card at WalMart, scribble a signature and toss it in the mail. Oh no. It takes careful planning, and a great degree of depth that one cannot simply drum up while on a heavy schedule. I need ocean fronts, the sun, the sand, the wind.......,I need donations. One of these days, when the time is right, when all is in order, I shall send the poor, deprived man a card, not just any card mind you, but THE card.<BR/><BR/>Goodness it takes me a long time to say nothing. Ah well. <BR/><BR/>AgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143743419444192502006-03-30T13:30:00.000-05:002006-03-30T13:30:00.000-05:00Thanks for the kind words Paul. I'll probably continue to write, I really like to do that. It's an off-and-on proposition, mostly off now, since there are less outlets for the songs. But I can express my heart with them - that's why I'll continue. I don't see me arranging much unless I get involved in some sort of a small group again.<BR/><BR/>The I'll Live Again ending is an example of my head voice. I can't do that in straight falsetto - at least not in a manner that would be acceptable for public consumption.<BR/><BR/>So Ag, you sent Kon a card yet?Byranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02904365789033352077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143679297151379552006-03-29T19:41:00.000-05:002006-03-29T19:41:00.000-05:00By, I just spent some hard-earned dollars on several cds at the Windmill Farm Bakery in South Boston, VA...one of which was AHQ's "Purpose". First, you MUST continue writing and arranging music. Do not neglect the gift that is in you! "Hit the Mark" was at least as good as some of Keith Lancaster's stuff. In reference to falsetto, while some of the ending on "I'll Live Again" seemed somewhat discordant (which seems acceptable in Southern Gospel-style music) to me, the last seconds were spectacular! That "doo-wop" high ending you did sounded like so much fun! I keep trying to sing it, but my falsetto isn't quite in that range. A textbook example of falsetto tenor is our friend David Gingerich, who sang that way for years, and did a wonderful job! BTW, if you haven't heard VOP's "Deliverance" album, you need to. It's tops!Paul Yateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13111334562101673226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143484372613050752006-03-27T13:32:00.000-05:002006-03-27T13:32:00.000-05:00Oh Byran, I am sorry for you. I have become and AI adict (since my brother and his wife moved into the neighborhood...;). You would love it. <BR/><BR/>AH! On behalf of Konrad, I am offended. (I have to defend him, because he did me this great act of kindness, and there were these rude boys who treated him sorely because of it. Oh what a traggic tale, I still tear when I think of it.) One would think that after all the sweat, blood and tears that good man has poured into AHQ, the least the REST of you could do is buy the man a plane ticket so he has one more chance to shine. Poor man. I think I'll go send him a card. <BR/><BR/>AgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143466214868257782006-03-27T08:30:00.000-05:002006-03-27T08:30:00.000-05:00Qwert, you never know. I'm not limiting my options at this point.<BR/><BR/>Ag, I'm fairly certain I could get into American Idol. But, alas, I've never see a single episode.<BR/><BR/>Nony Mouse, Tom, David, and I sang a song this very weekend at the reception of a wedding.

I must admit, Your's and Tom's were my favorite voices. You all should get together and sing again, for old times sakes at least. <BR/> -Nony MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143342580718943162006-03-25T22:09:00.000-05:002006-03-25T22:09:00.000-05:00OOOOH, makes me think of Ace Young. Anybody see his You Give Me Butterflies performance on AI? Made me view falsetto with a whole new respect. I had to mop myself off of the floor. <BR/><BR/>AgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143269654855360232006-03-25T01:54:00.000-05:002006-03-25T01:54:00.000-05:00well, man... you know you & tom COULD come back and y'all could sing together again... there's no law against it...<BR/>do you think you'll ever come back?qwerthttp://www.xanga.com/qwertlenoreply@blogger.com
