For several years now, I have been wanting to organize an Old-Fashioned Gospel Sing where all interested parties gather to sing through old hymns and gospel tunes. Today, we did it. The Women's Choir hosted a potluck after church, not knowing how many people would show up, so we planned, hoping for 50 and ended up with 58!
One of our very best gospel pianists at church accompanied us as we sang our little hearts out for almost an hour.
It was so fun that we started thinking ahead to other kinds of singalongs. One idea is to have a marshmallow roast, eat s'mores, and sing around a campfire (in a fire pit) on a summer evening. Another idea is to have a Cole Porter night, although I have no idea what kind of food would go along with that. We are not a singing culture so much any more, but perhaps we could foster some new interest in becoming so.
