GOSPEL SINGING + JAPANESE CHOIR= ????

So yesterday I was feeling well enough to head out to church and since my girl Joice is in town visiting and doing her best "nurse Maduaka" impersonation:-), I really wanted to take her to my church so she could see where I spend my Sunday mornings and so I could go to the House of The Lord myself and give thanks to Him for bringing me through my surgery safe and sound. It was a bit of struggle - picture wearing heels on my left leg, a super heavy/thick temporary cast/splint on my right leg, trying to keep my purse on my shoulder and not look too crazy while crutching down the aisle to my seat:-( but it was definitely worth it!

It was a great service as usual at First AME Los Angeles but we had a special treat by a 100 Voice choir from Tokyo, Japan. Who knew they got down like that in Tokyo?? They sang two songs and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed their performances, so much so that I stood up on my crutches throughout their songs just so that I could see better and fully appreciated their talent.

I just checked on Youtube and luckily someone has posted some personal video clips of them singing yesterday. It's not the best quality but I just wanted to give you an idea of what they sounded and looked like. Try to watch it all the way through so you can see them work.it.out. lol! I'm sure it will bring a smile to your face because they were fantastic. Enjoy!

Three things: I'll check out the choir from home tonight. 2. Glad you were able to get out and get your praise on (I definitely did not do so on the Sunday immediately following my achilles surgery. But, yeah, men are wimps.) And 3. Aren't you still supposed to be keeping that jaint elevated as much as possible? And I KNOW you didn't have it up on the back of the pew in front of you, sooo....

Camera person was WHACK (hope it weren't you, J), but that choir was mad ambitious, and they got down!

Nupe: No...the camera person was NOT me..my hands are kinda busy these days holding on to my crutches:-) But yeah this choir definitely "got down". They've apparently performed with everyone from Kirk Franklin to Donald Lawrence and Donnie McClurkin.

Gina: Glad you held out till the end:-)
