Party

The party starts at 4 on Sunday. I appreciate people who
tell me they’re coming.

Some people were alarmed at some of the difficult music in the
booklet I sent a pointer to yesterday. (Let me know if you want
the pointer.) I just wanted all the Christmas music we play to be
more easily accessible — some of it is more suitable for Tuesdays
than for the party. We will still have the “Carols for Parties”
books, with all the old favorites.
