Trinity Newmarket Singers

I'm sorry, folks, this flu (or whatever it is) has clobbered me and I'm now on my 6th day of being knocked out. My nose and throat are still productive, and I don't want to share this with anyone. We were going to add pets to our Home and Family theme, for Valentine's Day and Family Day. We love our pets and they become family members. I have a playlist with songs with animals. Let's hold on to that for next week.   Just one example of a Pet song: Martha My Dear by the Beatles  If you're ever in need of a sing-along and you're alone, head over to YouTube, and you'll find so many songs with lyrics, and even playlists based on artists. So, you could search for "Beatles songs with lyrics" or "Chicago songs with lyrics", or songs in an era or decade, or individual songs that you like, with lyrics.  Here's something fun to listen to: a Beatles medley by Walk off the Earth. It's frustrating for me to not be able to sing, but I can ...

Our theme was Home and Family, as we're looking ahead to the Family Day weekend, and also keeping in mind that Saturday is Valentine's Day.  While Valentine's Day often looks like a romantic thing, it's really a love thing. In my experience, it's been about Family and Friends more than for Lovers. All the Moms and Grandmas get special cards and maybe flowers, handmade gifts, chocolates. There's a special family dinner, maybe in a restaurant or maybe it's Dad's favourite dish. Every kid in your class, your teams, your teacher, coach, the bus driver, all the people you love get a message of love from you on a card that you made or picked out. Valentines Day changed as I went through the changes of the different seasons of life, but mother, mine or myself, and family have been constant. Family is the thing I love most; my family are the people I love most. Home is where we are together.   My Home and Family playlist starts off with 5 different songs called ...

Thank you, Everyone, for a lovely birthday afternoon! It was so beautiful, the cards, the cake, the decorations, everything. I had a wonderful birthday. Thank you for putting up with me wanting to sing songs that you hadn't heard before, but I hope you liked them. It wasn't easy choosing the songs to sing. I love so many, and I can't rank them. The theme was "Renate's Favourites" because it was my birthday. You'll find them in the list, in case you want to look them up, or find out more about the performers. Robyn suggested doing everyone's birthday like this, so it must have been alright. I usually try to use songs that many people will know, or that are so popular that everone knows. Occasionally, I'll throw in something that I know only one or two of you will know, but this time, I was pretty sure you wouldn't know a few of my songs.  Here are some of the songs I love to sing most, that we sang together yesterday, in alphabetical order: Bohe...
