    I grew up in Cleveland Heights and University Heights and rehearsed with the Heights Choir in that very church.

    Not to go "besides that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln?" but fortunately that poor fellow only fainted & is fine now, so its not too terrible to say that the concert was lovely otherwise. Hope the cause was an aberration for him & that he feels up to singing with you all again next year. 🙂

    Lovely! It was quite hard to hear in the "crying room" so this is the first time I'm truly hearing it. Only David's mic was piped in, not the choir. Hopefully our kids will be more chill for the next concert so we can hear it properly.
