I spent Saturday afternoon at the Show Your Heart Charity Concert at the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, in Springfield, MA. To refresh your memory Noah is a member of the Cathedral Choir of Boys and Adults.
The concert was a fund raiser for The Open Pantry, which helps to feed folks in need. I'm still employed in the lumber industry, so I consider myself pretty lucky. Parting with $10 for a concert and a good cause was a no brainer.
Five Chorale groups performed today. Noah's, which the emcee joking referred to as the house band. A group of students from the UMass Chorale, the Greater Westfield Choral Association. A group called Schola Nova. Last but not least a rocking gospel group Tehillah from St. John Congregational Church in Springfield.
Each group had a different style but the message was the same. Music can bring people together. It was great fun to sit and enjoy all the music. The music ranged from pieces composed in the early 1700's to modern composers.
There are some very talented people out there doing things for love and pure enjoyment. Maybe if we all did something for those reasons, whatever it is, we would all enjoy our trip around the sun even more.

Nicely put. And that's a bang-up new banner, with the photo and all.
Yes, Bully! (And it's wonderful that Noah does not show signs of outgrowing the signing.)
