Music Notes

As musicians, we all have learned to play by chords and usually don’t use printed music. When Keith started playing with us he used actual music with notes. Keith’s book is 3 times the size of ours because for every song sheet we have with chords, he has 2 more with notes. Lou would tease him about being stuck to those “black dots” and not being free. Occasionally Keith would have a problem finding a harmony note and would have to rely back on that sheet music. For the 2004 banquet, we made a “gag” gift for Keith. It was a clear keychain filled with black dots and said “In case of emergency, break glass” so that the next time he had to go searching for a note he would have plenty of those “black dots” to pick from.

Are you wondering why we asked about our favorite M&M Color on the FunFacts pages? One day shortly after Keith first joined Chalice we were out singing somewhere and they had M&M’s in a dish on the table. I started picking out the green ones saying they were the best, then Keith had to disagree and say the blue ones were better. Well, Gary had to say then that the orange ones were best and Lou thought we had all lost our minds. He can’t see a difference! It was a great “ice breaker” converstation. Since then we always have a jar of M&M’s on our dining room table and during practices we might snack on them and sure enough, everyone still picks out their colors. We leave the leftovers for Lou – or the kids! It’s amazing how many people have a favorite M&M color!
