Great idea and great start! But do you really think most of us
untuneful NFB troops could sing it? I forebear to tell you what
Eileen Farrell, the late soprano, said about that part of
Beethoven's Ninth backstage after completing a performance. It
isn't printable!
I always wanted to do a NFB song to the tune of "Eyes on the
Prize" but figured we didn't have enough persons who could hold
the harmony (smile).
I'll think on your idea, though.
