Sing-along Café 2025-02-13 Playlist

So, we're not meeting because of all that snow and the wind blowing it around, but we can still share some songs. Robin says she's thinking of watching Moana. Great idea! Watch a movie with lots of good music, some nice Disney animation with singable tunes and palm trees beaches and ocean. Wonderful escapism for a snow day!

Our theme is Black History Month, and we were planning to continue with that for the rest of February, and for today we wanted to be sure to sing some love songs too, since tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

We already mentioned last week that some of the heavy, serious music was made by artists we know by their love songs. So, we can stay in our theme. 

Here's some suggestions for songs you can listen to. Love songs are in bold:

  • Marvin Gaye: What's Goin' On and Mercy Mercy Me, and Ain't No Mountain High Enough and How Sweet it is to be Loved by You
  • Beyoncé: If I Were a Boy, and Halo
  • Temptations: Ball of Confusion, and Get Ready and Just My Imagination and The Way You do the Things You Do
  • The Commodores: Jesus is Love, and Nightshift, and Still
  • Lionel Ritchie: Say You Say Me, and All Night Long, and Endless Love 
  • Billy Ocean: One World, and Suddenly
  • Michael Jackson: Black and White and Man in the Mirror, and Rock With You
  • Donna Summer: Stop Look and Listen and Unconditional Love, and  Last Dance
  • Honorable mention: Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder: Ebony and Ivory.

Singing Together in July and August

I posted this on my YRCC blog, and I think it applies to my Trinity Singers too. While we’re not singing together in July and August, please find opportunities to sing in other places and with other people.  You can always sing in your car and in your kitchen. You can accept all invitations to cottages, camping, and beach days, and do some campfire singing. Or, sing while you paddle around in a lake. Sound carries over water, so have some buddies join you if you’re not comfortable with a solo performance.  Orchestrate some backyard sing-alongs if you can.  Singing outdoors in the summer is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed the free concerts in Aurora and Newmarket in the past. They have ‘tribute bands’ who perform all the hits you know, and you’ll want to sing and dance along. (would be nice if they projected the lyrics for us, because we're used to having those words now) I’ve added these concerts to my YRCC Calendar to encourage my choristers to go. I’...

Summer Break 2025 Starts Early for Sing-Along Café

I apologize for the short notice, but I've decided to break for summer a couple weeks early. For July and August, you can spend every Thursday at Riverwalk Commons at the free concerts there. Thursday night is still "my singing night". I like to take in as many of those free concerts as I can. If you like, you can send me a text or an email and we can go together, or meet up there.   Aurora has free concerts on Wednesday evenings, so I might go there sometimes instead, or too, depending on the weather, other summer plans, and whimsy.  We'll open the café again in September. I hope to see you then.
