Tootin' My Horn

The Sonday Four, the Southern Gospel group which performed at my dad's memorial service were on the program to open the service this past Sunday. I asked them to drop by the cafe (where Be & I lead the worship) to do a song there for those in attendance. Turned out that the baritone had to leave before being able to do the cafe service, so the other 3 guys said they'd come and do it as a trio. I said that I knew a baritone who could fill in if they had the printed music available. They looked kind of puzzled until I pointed to myself and said "Let's give it a try!" They broke out the chart and I read it pretty much note for note. They all agreed that I should sing it with them for the service. It was a real jazzer to sing Southern Gospel for the first time with a group who had been doing it for many, many years.
