Good to see you on this site! I hope all is well with you and your work in the Lord. Sure miss the sem chorus and the sweet sound we used to make to the Lord. Once you've had a taste of the sem chorus--nothing else seems to satisfy!

God has blessed you in so many ways: Your musical gifts, your winning personality, your orthodox Lutheranism. I will never forget the time you sang "Love Me Tender" when we were on tour. The little, old ladies went ga-ga! I look forward to that great day when you will be directing us in that great chorus in the sky! Alleluia!

This is most certainly true.
