Singing is Good for the Soul!
Singing is so much fun, even if you aren't good at it. Isn't that why a lot of people sing in the shower? Just to amuse themselves and act like a rock star in private? And then there's the singers who sing while driving with windows open thinking no one can hear them, or don't care that anyone does. ESN's theme this week is "singing". There will be plenty of that going on with all the concerts this summer all over the world. Our own Red Rocks will be hosting rock concerts all summer long. I don't have a single thing in my store to represent singing per se, but Le Petit Marche has some lovely Christmas decorations that will get you in the mood to sing Christmas Carols. Ok, so it's a little early in the season to be thinking Christmas and singing Christmas songs, or is it? So pop on in and have a look at some of the fun Christmas stuff I have. Below are just two of a nice selection I have.

Gospel Singing
Gospel singing is a unique Americana phenomena that goes back a long ways. Brother Dennis L. Slaughter has a fascinating History of Gospel Music should you want to know more about it. I love the energy of gospel music, the harmony of the voices. Some songs are kind of sad like "Amazing Grace" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", and I can't find out for sure where the songs originated, but if not American, whether stolen or adopted they've been around at least since the slave trade times and are sung in churches everywhere even today. If you want to know more about Gospel tunes, Eccentric Thrifter has this vintage book: Check it out and all her other interesting items as well.
