viola girls

(I know there are a lot of us)

My sister and I played at my grandpa's funeral today - he loved it and he always loved to listen, so we played even though I really haven't in years. It was fun (and sounded pretty decent, I think!)

Not a viola girl (actually a mezzo-soprano kind of girl), but I love this!  (And I'm sure he did, too!)

Aww, that's so great.  What did you play?

Awesome! I bet it was great.

 Like I said, I have a viola duet book for Christmas music as well as a piano accompaniment. We need to have a get together so we can play and eat cookies!

I am not musically inclined whatsoever, but I'm sure it was beautiful and such a special thing for you and your sister to do.

You and Kelli can bring your instruments to the cookie exchange and play for us

Woot! How fun would that be.  Maybe we should have a "Christmas party" as an excuse to get together near Andrew's birthday, like your party for Rowan.

I didn't have a song list ahead, so we sight-read through the whole mass.  So that was all of the standard Catholic mass songs, and Ave Maria (my sister sat that one out), Eagle's Wings, Shepard Me O God, Be Not Afraid, hmmm I forget what else. I'm not sure if you would be familiar with these or not.
