Come to think of it - it is the same man who organized both Messiah from Scratch and Joseph. He is Dr Walter Kemp, past chair of the music department of Dalhousie, and the church organist, at the time, of the church. He also leads The Dalhousie Chorale. I guess we are lucky to have him in town.

Halifax is a wonderful place for amateur musicians of all types. There is a group called Canmac that meets once a month and sings some choral piece from scratch. Then there is the Gilbert and Sullivan society that puts one operetta each year. They have put all G&S on once and some twice. There are numerous choirs and an amateur orchestra. There is a lovely gospel choir and barbershop choirs too. There are lots of bands too. The school music department is very good and was excellent before the cut backs. Quite a few local students have gone on to professional music careers of all types of music. as far as preparing students for jobs and life the music department has done a great job. Yet some on the city council still perceive art and music as frills.

Many of the flannels and the corduroys are very beautiful now; and unless you are making an heirloom, the machine stiched ones are the way to go. Jacquelyn got a quilt rack for Christmas from her sister; an antique wooden one. She is delighted. We enjoy quilting to- gether. It took ages to get her interested in quilting but now she has taken flight like a kite on a March afternoon. I would love to see the photo also, Jean.

Any volunteer work I have done has always cost me money, Marged. You have to pay everything every one else does plus donate to the cause too. Right now I am selling tickets on a beautiful quilt. We are not allowed to sell tickets to ourselves in case we win it as that would look bad. Jean in Nova Scotia

I have been busy listening to 'Messiah" . There were three versions on this Christmas -two of them twice. Yesterday I went to Messiah from Scratch. The orchestra which was pretty good this year is made up of music students at Dalhousie University here in Halifax and local amateurs. There is the odd ringer from the Faculty of Music. The trumpet was played by Elizabeth's music teacher from high school. He also rehearsed the choir. He did a wonderful job of both. The choir consists of the audience who divide themselves into the four parts. The Altos definitely outnumbered the rest. The Tenors were few. Still we had a lot of fun despite coming a cropper on His yoke is Easy and his Burthen is Light. Definitely untrue last night. The soloists are local also. They generally did a great job. I have a tape of Aled Jones singing 'O for the Wings of a Dove' I must get it out again. I was sorry to hear he did not get the adult voice he wanted. I saw the special where he discussed it. The voice you get is obviously a matter of luck in the genetic lottery. I would love to see the Video of 'Joseph'. My daughters Church choir put it on years ago. She was in the choir and doubled as one of the brothers. Everyone enjoyed it greatly.
