Thanks' for all the praise and encouragement! I've struggled with
performance singing since I was a little girl ( my voice was striking
even back then) I wanted people to like me and the quality of my
voice was not well appreciated by my peers in the late 70's and early
80's, Tough their parents adored me! I was so confused I even
stopped singing for years.
I've finally come to the right place mentally and spiritually.
singing should be done for the sheer joy of having been given the
gift of voice. I was stunned to hear that someone in our church
complained that we sometimes worship music more than God in our
sevices. Creating music is a form of worship and there is plenty of
scripture in both the old and new testament to back up the claim that
God considers it so. It saddens me that this person has at some
point been made to feel musically inept and cannot connect with the
way that music can lift our consciousness to our creator. Psalm 100
says "make a joyful noise unto the lord" God doesn't critique us the
way our peers do.
I now know that God wanted to make me happy by giving me this voice,
and I really enjoyed myself that night. That some others have been
moved by the music I made, well thats just Icing on the cake!
Will try to post "whiter shade of pale" next weekend.

Hi Guys,
I wondered If I should send you this since it has nothing to do
with TM but I figured since we have lost a lot of tmic-list
"saints" recently I figured you could remember them while watching
it.
thats me singing at my debut concert, the traditional hymn "for
all the saints" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gx2CJuGY18
