Now catching up on my responses.

Hi, blacks2! Thanks for the nice comment and the 5 thumbs. I’m pleased you liked it.

jederick, always good to see you. Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Mike, I appreciate your attitude, but I’m not a business man and would flop.

Earnest, your approval is very welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed it.

Hereford, thanks for coming. I’m pleased you enjoyed my pictures. I do have many memories of my singing—I’ve sung in church choirs since I was 9 years old, and in a couple of community choruses, too. Here in Dallas I’ve been in my church choir for 40 years and sang with a college chorus for 27 years before stopping a couple of years ago (got to be too much for me logistically). COVID has put all my musical activities on hold, unfortunately, which includes the choir and 2 handbell groups. We hope those will be back in business soon.

Jay, thanks a lot. I like it when folks enjoy my pictures.

John, I appreciate your nice comments. Where in Michigan are you? I grew up in Detroit, 1942-1960. Then went into the Air Force and spent 20 years all over. Retired in 1980 and ended up in Dallas.

Both of the choral groups I have sung with made tours of Italy some years ago. The church choir went in 2003 and the college chorus in 2006. I was using some Nikon film SLRs in 2003 and a D50 DSLR in 2006. This set will use the better photos from both tours. I have not gone back and reprocessed these to correct perspective, etc., so bear with me.

Very nice photos of a beautiful cathedral. The pandemic has surely changed our daily lives, hasn’t it? No rehearsals, no group singing. I too am missing being in our church choir, playing in our chime choir, and singing in another community choral group. We’ll get back!
