I've spent most of my life having to follow in my sister's hallowed footsteps, sometimes happily and sometimes reluctantly. When she suggested that I try out for Syracuse Vocal Ensemble, a group she'd been singing in with her college director, it was more of the latter - she's always been a tough act to follow, since she's both naturally talented and the hardest working woman not in show bizness.
But I gave it a shot, auditioned, and became a member of the group. There were a lot of fantastic people with whom I got the opportunity to work, and I had a lot of really great experiences singing with the group. This song is one example; I sing the second verse in a duet with the lovely and talented Carol Spradling.
Since the group rehearsed on Sundays, I had to give up my interest in professional football for a few years. Luckily my tenure coincided with the downward spiral that was the Dallas Cowboys of the Millennium.
Hmmm.... maybe it's time to consider singing in a group again...
