Here's Trish's report from last week:

Participants: Deb: Hand Made Ornaments (orig), Philipine Sunrise (orig), Angels We Have Heard On High

David M: After Your Goodbye (orig)

John Lowrance: Oh Holy Night, Goodbye, Is That You (orig)

Robert Qwen: Take A Giant Step, Ione (orig), Photograph From Heaven (orig)

Not much talking and a lot of good songs. Also, I think we have the most supportive and mutually admiresome group. (I don't think admiresome is a word but I'm going to use it anyway.} Everyone agreed to save some Holiday songs for our next few gatherings before our Winter break.
