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’...

TOMORROW! Pride Festival, Trans March, Pride Parade

June 5th, 2025 Sing-along Café is Outdoors!

We're going to be outside, singing along with a cover band, Telltale Sounds, at the 2025 Newmarket Music Series Lineup Launch Party! Then, we'll sing and dance to Glenn Marais and the Mojo Train! I think we'll want to bring lawn chairs, and maybe a snack and a beverage. There will be a food truck there if you want to get something fun. We are asked to bring a Food Bank Donation. We'll head down together on foot from the Park Street entrance at 6:15. Hopefully that will be early enough to get parking behind the church and get a spot to sit at Riverwalk Commons. We'll walk across Main Street, down the stairs to the parking lot, and across towards the community centre, unless some of us have issues with stairs, then we'll go down the ramp at the next block that ends up just behind the community centre. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather (should be perfect, not too warm, not too cool). I'm a big fan of these free summer concerts. Can't wait...
