Comments on the Concert at Reformation

Awesome concert this afternoon at Reformation Church! Great music, excellent direction, outstanding readings and solos, wonderful percussion and piano! Kudos to Scott Zane Smith, Elizabeth Dressler-Williams, Christopher Martin Cerreto, and ALL of the talented singers! Your concerts are an inspiration and your selection "Wishing for Peace" expresses the sentiments of many this Advent season!

Fond memories from our spring concert!

Patsy Cline recorded Willie's song "Crazy" 54 years ago today! At first, Cline had difficulty reaching the high notes due to her broken ribs from a recent car accident. Yet "Crazy" spent 21 weeks on the charts and eventually became one of Cline's signature tunes.
