No one here doubt that for minute!! We'd love to hear it anyway!!
And while you're at it, how about some OLD pics from your more active firefighter days??
We have a bit of a time-warp going on here ...
The original "Dad" who didn't know the words was Phred's Dad ... many years ago.
He'd sometimes "agree to go" with us to Christmas Eve Services ...
and liked the BIG Church PIPE Organ sound ... so he'd "sing along" -
without too many referrals to the Hymn Book!

But I (Phred) will admit to attempting to "sing" in the Church Choir - before I realized I could NOT "sing".
I too, like my Dad, enjoyed the BIG Sound the Pipe organ produced -
and the Church Music Director / Organist just LOVED to *crank it up* and
rattle the Church windows at every opportunity! He'd pull all the Stops and Options
on about every piece he played - made that organ sond like a 100 chair Orchestra!

Annnnd ... as a Kid's Choir "Member" - I got to sit in the Choir Seats -
right UNDER the Pipe Loft --- darn pews would VIBRATE when ole Mr. Watkins
would Let 'er RIP! I always wondered if he knew that the louder he played,
the "better" some of us sounded!
