[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2271162, member: 277410"] Afternoon, everyone! In some kind of spirit of keeping my music going, I've been recording occasional hymns for my church's social media and for those of my friends who like it. No promises of every week, but just as and when I felt like it or if particular requests came in! Today's hymn was one that is not necessarily well known, usually gets a twice a year outing, at most, but my church congregation mostly likes to sing it, as do most of my church-going singing friends. Except it's not one of the most straight forwards. First verse is a short one. All the other verses bar one are an extension of that first tune. The last but one verse has a different tune totally, but could be any one of 3 possibilities. The number of verses varies from 5 - 9 depending on the hymnbook. I stuck to my guns and did my favourite version which happens to be the 9 verse version. I'm waiting for the wails of anquish that I've done the Wrong Other Tune for that penultimate verse. It all took several attempts, working out how to record video from my laptop, (I've been doing it from the phone so far, but this hymn is too long!) recording the whole thing 4 times, playing back and singing it [I]all[/I] to check I'd got the verses right, and providing words as well. What has all this to do with diabetes? I was a lovely 6.2 on waking, 7.2 mid-morning as I started and 10.7 by the time I ended in time for lunch. Is outrage! [/QUOTE]
