 Are there any folks here who are local to Ann Arbor, like to sing, and like
even more to prove a point? Please e-mail me.

Dammit...I live in Kazoo.

Does this require the ability to carry a tune?  ;)  (I love to sing, but even
with a handbasket the tune gets away from me)

We both like to sing.  What point are you trying to prove?  JIm is a low tenor
and I have sung anything from second tenor to second soprano.  Bach preferred.
Have you tried the classical music conference?

Actually, I forgot to mention that I`m looking for tenors and basses. Who
are gay.

I like to sing, but I'm not all that good at it, and I'm not sure what range
I'd be.

Ezperience and talent not necessary, but you should like to sing.

   i like to sing.  i'm a lesbian.  most of the time i can carry a tune
in a barrel, and my voice is pretty low for a woman, so i might be able
to get away with singing tenor.  and i *love* to make a point.  :)

If you end up being short on tenors (most choruses are) and are willing to
not discriminate against non-gays, and the rehearsals are within a mile or
so of Main and Miller, we might be interested, especially if at least some
of the music is classical or at least folk or old musicals.  Jim has a good
sense of pitch and I have better rhythm, so between us we can carry a tune.

Well, this choir is always looking for new members. Anyone can join, sexual
orientation notwithstanding. It`s just that there are a couple of homo-
phobes in the choir who just helped a great choir-director candidate not
get the job becasue they would be "uncomfortable" around him. So I`d kinda
like to surround these two with some wonderful men, even if for just a 
few weeks.
 This is a contemporary gospel choir in downtown Ann Arbor.

I'm tempted, but I really can't sing none too well at all.

A music person who can't sing much?  Hmmm... we could get you good enough for
the group..

It's too bad I don't have time. I have a good singing voice, moderately deep
and fairly rich, and have more than one lifestyle strike against me (queer,
poly, Dom), but with my curent schedule, and as a pagan, I'd be hard-pressed
to justify an ann Arbor gospel group.
  
It might be fun, though.

Yes, a music person who can't sing much. Alas.

#15 of 18 by lumen on Sun Oct 11 22:40:42 1998:

Lemme guess-- you're an instrumentalist?

#16 of 18 by orinoco on Mon Oct 12 21:38:00 1998:

Yep - piano. Also harmonica, but not very well.

Keep at it.  My branch president (branches and wards in the LDS church are
kinda like parishes, if you don't know) plays kinda nice, and I figure he's
played it for a long time.

 My friend Meg and I have set an appointment to talk with the senior pastor
about this and other disappointing scenarios regarding gay issues (no,
neither of us is gay, but it seems most of our friends are).  No idea
what will come of it.
