One of the coolest things about being a member of GQ4 is the fact that we start preparing for the Christmas season in September. At our last rehearsal, we sang about a half-dozen Christmas songs. Though it’s been a while, our memories were quite good and we nailed some really nice chords. It seems a shame that without the quartet, I’d only be “singing” these songs for a couple of weeks in December.

We’re adding “Let It Snow” to our repertoire this year. I love the snow, and I like it when the weather outside is frightful. Some folks here in Wisconsin don’t agree with me though. It seems that the TV weather people are always referring to cold temperatures and snow as “bad weather”. What’s up with that?

I was born and raised here in northeast Wisconsin. As a young adult, I lived in southern California for 12 years. That weather is boring. Sure, the sun is nice, don’t get me wrong. But a change of seasons keeps life interesting.

The fall colors are upon us now. The third week in October (when the colors are the most vibrant) is just around the corner.

Bring it on! Let it snow!
