hi wleki
8:46 am
welki
anyone watch the blue jays/angels game last night?
8:48 am
welki
(i know sukee did, but she's not here) anyway, the woman who sang both anthems knocked my socks off - she was AMAZING
8:48 am
welki
like goosepimples, teary-eyed amazing
8:48 am
rururocks
are you still barefoot?
8:49 am
welki
yes, yes i am
8:50 am
rururocks
must have been a good performance then
8:51 am
welki
ru, i tell you - both anthems are difficult to sing, but the woman was perfect - just the right amount of emotion, perfect notes. i've been trying to find out what her name is, so far no luck
8:51 am
rururocks
I'm not sure I know the Canadian Anthem
8:51 am
welki
you know how, when someone sings the anthem, the us anthem, you wonder if they'll hit the high notes? well, there was no wondering about it
8:52 am
rururocks
Well the two worst I know are Roseanne Barr and Fergie
8:53 am
welki
and then the fighter squadron flying overhead was great punctuation for a great performance
8:55 am

hello
8:58 am
welki
I just sent her a message :)
8:58 am
rururocks
wow.. that's resourceful
9:02 am
welki
strange i know, but i appreciate singers when they stay on target with the anthems. i don't care for the modernization of them, or when they add what they think are "interpretive" notes or phrases into them. (so says the old fuddy duddy who is listening to coltrane right now)
9:07 am
welki
<-- killed the chat. going to get another cup of coffee.
9:10 am
rururocks
(points out to welki the chat isn't very active with tiny grids as a rule)
9:13 am
