Just to let everyone know, if they haven’t heard already, our end of year Concert with Corker Orchestra was absolutely wonderful. What a hoot! Thank you, Corker. Thank you, Mainesong. Thank you Wendy for a great year, have a fantastic trip, have a ball and see you next year.
Starting next Wednesday, we have the amazing Scott Sanders stepping in as our Choir Wrangler, covering for Wendy while she’s away on her well-earned jaunt.
The score of Lonesome Road, by Neal Young
A copy of the good copy, lyrics in Portuguese and English, is now in the songs gallery.
And, almost identical, from http://azlyrics.biz/ … azlyrics.biz/nascimento-milton-o-cio-da-terra-lyrics/
debulhar o trigo
recolher cada bago do trigo
forjar no trigo o milagre do pão
e se fartar de pão
decepar a cana
recolher a garapa da cana
roubar da cana a doçura do mel
se lambuzar de mel
afagar a terra
conhecer os desejos da terra
cio da terra propícia estação
e fecundar o chão

Thankyou so much for your beautiful flowers, the colours, the perfumes, the arrangement of textures… and huge gesture of appreciation. I was so surprised and absolutely loving them. How fantastic that we can sing together in life!
Please find attached a new programme order. Please discard the other one and make sure you print this one. I am so looking forward to our weekend of singing. I have also attached words for Keep on the Sunnyside.
See you at the market, 9.45ish.
