I still recoil in horror at the time I sang Celine Dion's "The Power of Love"
at a Catholic wedding ... "the whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping
tight ..." "Cuz I'm your lady and you are my man - whenever you reach for me
- I'll do all that I can." Too Much Information!!! What's more, the priest
made the title of the song the theme of the wedding! Also sang
"Unforgettable" at a Presbyterian service - objected to that because it was
just too secular and too lounge-y... and I had no choice in the music for the
service because I was a contractor!!

Oh, I'm back btw...
