Our district president had a passion for singing, so he always tried to encourage more singing, but our ordinary branch singing was far from phenomenal. We didn't even really have an organist; we had one of those organ/pianos that looked like a real piano, but had music programmed in it, so you didn't even need to know how to play! :-) Ahh...good times...Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649159574541149892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30569672.post-92143797027814532592009-05-08T09:31:00.000-07:002009-05-08T09:31:00.000-07:00I can't believe you lived in NYC too.

We lived in Midtown then moved to the Upper West Side. The Upper West side was WAY BETTER than Midtown. I never actually liked NY. It was too crowded and dirty for my taste. I can definitely understand what you mean about finding an apt. being a big pain, although I am shocked that no one would rent to you because you were married. How odd is that? in fact, it may be discrimination. Hmmm...<br /><br />Anyways, I'm glad you liked it there. We really didn't make it to Brooklyn all that often. So, was singing in your ward as good as it was in ours? Singing in our ward was phenomenal. Even our organist took liberties and played liked a professional. HAHA!
