Finger Nails on a Chalkboard

  Well, I broke a New Year's resolution; I promised to write a new blog every day. Even though I missed posting yesterday here's what I would have wrote. Have you ever been to a church service or a concert where the person behind you was singing loudly off key? On Sunday the tone deaf of a neighboring row were so distracting that a pew in the back seemed inviting. If it had been a paid event I would have wanted my money back.

  Do these people not know that they sing so badly? Forget monotone singing, sometimes they clap off rhythm and everybody seems out of sync. Maybe it's just me. Probably not, my wife agreed when she stepped down from the choir and thought I had made a poor seating choice; funny,  "Caruso" was seated after me along with her companion who frequently punctuated with loud comments to the preaching. OK, lesson has been learned for next Sunday. Please, my musically challenged friends; if you frequent church or the concert halls refrain from unsolicited participation unless you plan a stage career we didn't come to hear you perform. I'll get enough of your type on American Idol this month.

Stay tuned
