I was browsing Twitter yesterday, and saw that the Tabernacle Choir (#MoTab) had posted that they would have a special guest for today's Music and the Spoken Word, the wonderful singer Sylvia McNair. You may recall me mentioning her after a concert appearance with them last winter. Needless to say, I was very excited, so I got around early this morning, and got myself downtown just in time to catch the program. And it was definitely worth the effort.
The choir was in fine form as always, and Sylvia McNair sang a glorious version of "This Little Light of Mine", which to me seemed very inspired, considering I've been ponderizing that very topic this week. After a wonderful message from Brother Newell, the choir sang "My Favorite Things", and the final number was an absolutely fabulous version of "Climb Every Mountain" by Ms. McNair and the Choir. Of course, since you all know how I feel about "The Sound of Music", I felt as if the program was practically meant for me.
(And a big shout out to my Twitter pal, Siope Kinikini, who sings bass in the choir, and gave me the scoop on Sylvia McNair. Seems as though the choir adores her, and she'll be invited back. Sweet!)
