This is the video of me concentrating, and trying not to say "One-and, Two-and, Three-and, Four-and". My back up plan for missing my notes has been to sing the note in time, but you can tell that it is not a bell. What Wondrous Love Is This? 40 seconds of video seems long.
This morning I debuted as a bell ringer in a hand bell choir. I played the E's and F's in the base clef. I have been to 3 rehearsals, and it is fun, and new. I joined because I really like the sound of the bell choir, and my mom is in it. I'm such a newbie, but I'm having patience with myself to learn a new sport instrument (?). I have traditionally thought that bell choirs were cheesy. Certainly there is that element, the quilted vests, the white gloves, but it is fun. My husband thought it was so funny that he took video of me, and was laughing so hard. I think he is just jealous of how much fun I am having.
So what if I am liking it?
It is like the video games that you pretend to play an instrument, waiting to strum the guitar at the exact moment, but there is sheet music, and you get weeks of rehearsal.
I think I am the only ringer with a tattoo.
You and your sisters all have excellent voices. I remember being so jealous of how well you three could harmonize. Kudos for bringing the arm-ink to the bell choir.
