Body:	<i>Upon moving to semi-retirement (hey, where's all that extra time?) I was able to return to membership in a choir. Throughout the 1980's sang with the Colorado Chorale - 120 voices - until multiple jobs and grandkids took priority. Then joined the Alpine Chorale since 2001 (about 60 voices). Had the opportunity to tour Europe in 1983 to 6 countries & 9 concerts over a 3 week period. Unforgettable! Uunderstand that my experience is not uncommon, i.e., moving from a bass (high school) to a tenor (middle age) and now am pretending to be a first tenor (no longer middle age?), expected to hit notes sometimes in the stratosphere. The rehearsals feel like work, but come the concerts it all seems worth it. I think that the object is to ensure that choral music remains alive in a time and culture that favors other things. There are indeed some amazing works even now being composed, e.g., 'An American Odyssey' (2006) by Mary McAuliffe, about Irish immigrants coming to the US, which we sang in April 2008. It had adults and chldren in tears (no it wasn't the singing...).</i> *
