bell choir fun

 Tonight we met with the H family and did bell choir fun.  There was about 10 ringers.  It was really nice.  They humored us and did 5 songs several times each.  I loved it.  I haven't done the bells at that level in a long time.  The best ones have a simple chord or counter melody and the melody is sung.  I have a nice arrangement of "Silent Night" that is so simple but also so sweet.  For "Ring Out Wild Bells" I have verse 1, 3 and 4 to simplify things.  Verse 1 and 3 have more of a chord feel.  Verse 4 has more of a bells clanging on every beat feel.  It's very nice.

There are so many cool people I've been able to get to know this last year.  I miss knowing people but it is also nice to meet new people.
