Singing With The Xenia Hospitality Chorus

Having nothing special to do tonight, I drove up to Xenia to sing a bit with the Xenia Hospitality Chorus. Fifty-six miles, took about an hour and fifteen minutes. Not too bad a drive! I received a warm welcome from all chorus members. Don McAdams, their director was great. We started with The Old Songs and then spent some time on a Pole Cat, Sweet, Sweet Roses of Morn.
The chorus then practiced a few songs they knew and are going to sing this Saturday at a wedding reception. Next there was some quartet singing and I was reunited with Bobby Knisley. He and I reprised our Apple Corps roles as Bass and Baritone along with a volunteer Lead and Tenor singing Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby.

Don't forget The Xenia Corn Roast: Aug. 7, 2010. Cost is only $10 and there will be plenty of food and singing. This is a picture from last year. Don McAdams, in yellow shirt, is directing his chorus. Everybody had a lot of fun. There are a lot more Corn Roast specifics in the Summer issue of the Cider Press, on page 7.
