Family cantor

Being a church musician and cantor, I have one thing in common with priests, reverends, and rabbis. If you're the only such minister in the family, you get to do everyone's weddings and funerals. If you're a singer, you get to sing at them.

The weddings are the more happy occasions, by far! My cousin, who lives on Vancouver Island, is getting married this summer. She's asked me to sing for their wedding. Oh, how thrilling a thing that is! It is one of the real blessings of being gifted with this ability. There is nothing more magical than singing love songs at a celebration of love. And, well, it sure beats the funerals!
