Surprising mom

Hey everyone,

I would like to share few more thoughts on surprising mom.

In order for us to have any advertisement for our presentations (possible vespers on Fri and Sat night mom's celebration) we have to announce it in some of the surrounding churches.

Since Zuzka and family, Eva and Cassey will be there, they can call it "evening with the Metz's family". It can be advertised as Christian concert/sit down (posezeni)/remember the old days/whatever else would work in churches around like Frydlant, Frydek, Vojkovice, Komorni Lhotka, Cesky Tesin, Trinec. It won't give anything away, since mom would know these children are coming for a visit. She will not have to bug you to sing something.

Same advertisement for Komorni Lhotka Saturday evening.

OR

Instead of singing Sat evening, do you think KL's pastor would give us a morning church service. . . and would it be even appropriate to do that during such a time?

NOW TO SINGING

I watched the songs on youtube and they are great. They are very easy to learn, but I think we should mix it up a little and have few more lively (happy:). Mark Lowry's song "amazing" is awesome, but getting the music is very important. Gaither's song is great when he is singing it. His voice can't be unfortunately duplicated by any of us.

LIST OF SONGS

I see a lot of English songs but not so many Czech ones. Let's throw in a few more Czech ones that meant a lot to us. Even if they are English, but already translated into Czech.

NEW SONGS

I am also in favor of finding a couple of songs that weren't introduced/translated in Czech yet. It is always nice to hear brand new song. I am sure they will appreciate it.

PRACTICING

Let's put some dates down. Rachel is scheduled 3-5 months out. If we are to meet in April we need to pencil in a date now. I am sure Kamil already knows what he is doing in April. . . Eva can request time off and fly maybe on Thurs night to get there on Fri morning so she misses work only on Fri and Ika, Zuzka, Rene are right there. . .

Eva, if you want to spend some time with Cassey, just fly him with you to the practice and "kill 2 birds with one throw" :) (no malice intended)

CD

Let's trim down the songs for the CD. Is this going to be just English, or mix CD? Zuzka and Ika get the music sheets for the music chosen so we can practice individually. Rene promised to practice in his car (not in the shower to spare Hana's ears :) :) :)) Everyone else have piano and no excuse to practice.

more to come,
