Getting to sing the Mozart Requiem with the Meistersingers of Mississippi was an incredible pleasure. My words are inadequare in trying to describe the impact music can have on us. Quoting John Rutter, famous British composer/conductor, "You express, when you sing, your soul in song. And when you get together with a group of other singers, it becomes more than the sum of the parts." I had sung this before, but my appreciation of this classic is greater now. The sanctuary of Westminster Presbyrerian Church was packed, which says there are many who also loved the opportunity to hear this again.

Last week saw the conclusion of a very special part of the lives of many of us--the Back Door Coffeehouse at University Baptist Church. David Walker was the driving force behind this 32-year music venue which brought us talent like Kate Campbell, Tom Kimmel, Pierce Pettis, Tricia Walker, Claire Holley, Grace Pettis, and many more, as well as poets like Sharon Gerald. Thanks, David (and the many helpers over the years) who made this possible.
