Possibilities

One thing you might not know about my husband, he is a good singer.

And, he enjoys singing.

Sadly he hasn’t had an opportunity to sing regularly – except for church – for a long time.  A few months ago I started to pray that he would find an opportunity with some other men to sing again.

Last night another family came over for root beer floats — though the mommies ended up with chocolate ice cream with fresh strawberries – yeah for mommies! ;-)  Mike brought his guitar and after some great food and fellowship, he pulled it out.  He is amazing!  Not only did he play just a small bit of some of his original work, but just by hearing Eric sing a song – a song he’d never heard before – he could play it!  And play it beautifully.

They did a couple of songs and planned to get together and do it again.  They are even talking about performing togehter.  The very thought of doing anything in public terrifies me – but Eric tells me that sharing the music adds so much more to the experience.

I found some songbooks that Eric had created a few years ago of Victorian Christmas songs.  I think they are going to work on some of these lesser-known songs to share with others next Christmas.

I’m pretty jazzed about the possibilities this new friendship holds for Eric!
