The Sing

Voices turned into music as the summer sing got off to a good start.  For many years young men which are now old men have joined together to sing.  Normally The Stan Rodgers Glee Club meets in the top of Harvey's barn.  Too much cold caused a relocation. So at the lake house the old men gathered to sing the traditional sailing songs.  Leave her Johnny Leave Her,  The Northwest Passage, Rolling down to old Maui, and many other sea shanties were belted out.  Kieth has a wonderful voice, an excellent memory, and can play a couple instruments.  Thankya Jesus.  Shanika is also good on the guitar, knows the words and was once a performer at Madora. Too many desserts were put on the table, there were some excellent whistle beans, and there was some kind of strange blueberry bratwurst.  As usual some stories were mixed in with the singing.  Kadizzle was give grief about his recent attempt to shove money down the shirt of a congressman.  A couple people pointed out that is against the rules.

The night moved on and the crowd thinned out.  The bottles of wine, port and beer got emptied.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and a second sing may be scheduled.  A couple years ago Kadizzle introduced the sont "The Parting Glass".  The song has become part of the tradition, and Kadizzle wants it sung at his funeral.
The sun is climbing in the sky and the day will go on no matter what.  Shanika spent the night at Kadizzle's house.  Scheduling problems mean the Crazy Club meeting will be held today, so after breakfast the meeting will commence. Stoupini is out on the west coast so we might have to have a phone conference with him.
