Christmastime and I’m wrapping up some last minute gifts for the grandkids so I can get them sent off in the mail to California and Oregon. And I am, of course, listening to Christmas music. Nice mood-setting music. I just listened to a choral group do the Hallelujah Chorus, and I think I just realized something.
The thing is, I’m from Salt Lake City. I don’t consider myself an expert on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; I don’t really like to listen to them, hate when someone in the extended family wants to listen to them if we are visiting. I’m not even Mormon. But I realized that no other choral group can do the Hallelujah Chorus like The Mormon Tabernacle Choir can. Once you hear them, it’s all over for any other attempt. Oh, the little group I just listened to is nice enough, but nobody, and I really believe NOBODY, can do it like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It’s like comparing Eartha Kitt singing “Santa, Baby” to, um, well, me singing “Santa, Baby.” Don’t even go there, please.
I’m thinking it’s gonna be kind of like Pace’s Picante Salsa. No matter how interesting something new seems like it’s gonna be, I’m just not going to like it much, once I know I've discovered the best. Although, I bet I keep trying.
