OMG - Zombism!

Read it here:

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother.

AAARrrrrrgh - FOILED AGAIN

Tatango lets me down.

Now it costs money to contact you via cell phone.

You are likely relieved.

Being a part of something special . . .

An upcoming TV show about show choir and I think it's got legs -- watch the video and see if you don't agree. After all . . . being a part of something special makes you special, doesn't it? Here's how they describe it:

. . . . a one-hour musical comedy that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of all: Nationals.

Will Schuester, a young optimistic teacher, has offered to take on the Herculean task of restoring McKinley's Glee Club to its former glory. Everyone around him thinks he's nuts. He's out to prove them all wrong.

sometimes it's about the HOW rather than the WHAT

I like this presentation . . . how it is done. Thought of Harry, who also likes to see these things. Anyway, take a look - best viewed full screen.

Meredith shares sad news

Meredith shares this sad news with the choir. Note the last sentence.

HILL, FATHER TED, 75, a priest of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama died on April 18, 2009 in Cork, Ireland. Fr. Hill was ordained to the priesthood on May 31, 1959 at St. Kieran's Seminary, Kilkenny, Ireland, for the diocese of Mobile-Birmingham. He served as a priest in Alabama for forty years until his retirement on July 1, 1999. In his retirement he lived as a priest in Cork, Ireland. Fr. Hill served at St. Ann Church in Decatur, Holy Spirit Church in Huntsville, St. Stanislaus Church in Wylam. He also served as Catholic Campus Minister at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Birmingham. He also served as Chaplain and Counselor at John Carroll High School in Birmingham. He is survived by two brothers, Alex and Finbar Hill and one sister, Mary Kavanagh. Fr. Hill was a life-long sports enthusiast and was a familiar sight in earlier years on the sidelines at Alabama football games when he served as a team chaplain at the invitation of Coach Bear Bryant. A memorial Mass for Fr. Hill will be held at the Cathedral of St. Paul at a date to be announced.

Perhaps, if there are enough people available, our choir can sing at the memorial Mass - I think he would have appreciated that (and he was so kind to us in Cork).

More thanks

This from a member of Bluff Park:

I just wanted to communicate to you and the choir how much we enjoyed the music this past Sunday. I did not know that ya’ll use the sanctuary for your recordings. I’m glad that we are a friendly community church and this is an example of what is given is returned ten fold. Please let your students know we appreciate their getting up early and giving up that extra sleep time.

Thanks for Bluff Park Methodist

I thought we sang very well yesterday.

Here's a message to us from the pastor, Reid Crotty:

Thank you very much for coming to Bluff Park yesterday. I have heard so many comments about how much people enjoyed hearing the UAB Choir. It was a real treat for us. The music was outstanding, and you chose a very nice collection of pieces. Please convey our appreciation to the choir members. They certainly represented UAB well.

It’s encouraging to know that your program is preparing another generation of gifted musicians and people who appreciate great music for our community. You are always welcome here.

Thanks,

Reid Crotty
