Hello Cathy – welcome! I loved Carla so much. It is very sweet to hear from her sister. Unfortunately, I do not have any of her performances on the site, but I would love to feature her. I will send you a message off-line. Love, MoSop

Hi, this is to an old blog, but I was searching for Carla Wood and your site came up. This sounds crazy, Carla is my sister and sometimes cause I miss her like crazy, I do searches for her. One of your commenters said you had her listed, and I was searching to see if you had any of her performances on your blog. I wasn’t able to find the mentioned link. Anyway, if you do, I would sure like to hear from you. I have the links from classical singer just searching for more. It was great to hear how you knew her – Thanks, Cathy Williamson Winward

Hi Ama! I love the Northwest. And you have a great website. To get a mapping tool, there are probably many different sites. However, I like Statcounter. You may click on the icon I have in my sidebar, or go to statcounter dot com. There you can sign up for a free account and it will instruct you how to embed the code into your blog widgets.

Hey Mormon Soprano!

I’m up in the Seattle, WA area. I can’t remember how we first were connected. I think you commented on my site a few months back and I thought it was awesome that you were in the Choir. I remember telling all my friends that someone from the Choir had commented on my site.

By the way, how do you get one of those cool map things? I get a lot of people on my site, but don’t know where they’re from. This is pretty fun!

Take care!
Aaron

Tim! Another one of my faithful bloggy friends. Thank you for commenting. I love your “tour” story. Did you enjoy your visit to Utah? Isn’t the Conference Center awesome? I’m always totally amazed by it.

How wonderful that Carol studied with Carla! In my “former life” I was a classical singer who pursued the career dream for quite a long while (until the Lord told me He had a different idea). Carla and I got very close through our mutual friend and teacher Betty-Jeanne Chipman. Carla used to sit in on my lessons from time to time and gave wonderful suggestions. She and I shared a special bond. I have also read Classical Singer Magazine for years, and attended their wonderful conventions, both of which have had a powerful influence on me. When Carla was diagnosed with the brain tumor it was just heartbreaking and shocking. It was so sudden, and just the last thing anyone would ever imagine happening. She was such a vibrant and powerful force on the earth that it was hard to imagine she could ever leave! Carla absolutely did leave a beautiful legacy. Her funeral touched my heart, because it was a chance to realize how much she accomplished in her short life, and how many people she influenced for good. (sadly, I don’t think she ever realized that). We all have to die someday (it’s wierd how we like to forget that), so I hope that when my time comes I will have lived at least half the life that Carla Wood did.

Keep coming back, Tim & Carol (and commenting of course)

Janet – You are a peach! I always enjoy your comments. I wonder if your Indian friends must be some of my Indian visitors? Because although I have many friends who are Americans with India heritage (How do you say that without saying “American Indian”? LOL!) I don’t know anyone who actually lives in India (and how do you, I am wondering?) But I digress…
Anyway, I am so happy that you find my site peaceful. It is one of my main goals. I hope that you keep returning and keep leaving nice comments. I love you!

I’ve been a regular visitor for several months. I think you visited me first. One of the secrets to successful blogging is to leave comments on the blogs of others. Carol and I toured the Conference center last week on vacation. The tour guide was a member of the choir and a soprano. I asked her if she knew you. She said yes but that she is very tall and stands in the back while you are in the front.

I see you have a category of Carla Wood. Carol wanted me to mention that she was taught by Carla back before her mission. She was in our stake many years ago. Because of her help and encouragement, Carol’s singing is one of the great joys of my life. She is greatly missed and left a legacy that continues today in Classical Singer magazine.

I live in Utah and go to the choir as often as I can. My favorite types of music are the hymns and classical, favorite music group is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, favorite instrument is the cello.

I don’t remember how I found your blog but I’m glad I did. I always check your blog last because it is peaceful, positive and upbeat.

I have you on my blog roll and several of my readers are from India. I hope all your readers put you on their blog rolls to help spread the good word.

Hi,
I found you through my daughter’s blog, because you commented. (I ran the 5K Bryce Canyon race) Just wondered if you know Janeen Green in the choir. I believe she sings 1st or 2nd sop. Also, Art Hovely. If you do, tell them Hi from the Henry’s in Pasco, WA

Things that MoSop is welcome to call me as she sees fit:
*Sweetisthepeace
*Sweet (for short)
*Tex
*Pardner (though I will point out that Country is one of the select few genres of music I never listen to voluntarily)
*Little Brother (the “little” part is important because I know I’m younger than you and this helps me forget that I once considered “thirty-something” ancient; also, it’s the name of Mulan’s dog, which amuses me).
*That Nut who Stalks my Blog

Things MoSop may not call me (because I have a short span of attention):
*Bodyguard
*Long-lost pal
*Betty
*Al

Eric, great to meet you! I have some friends who live outside of Detroit. Someday I will come for a visit and we can all go out for milkshakes together. I visited your site. It is very smart and witty, and some of your posts made my brain hurt – in a good way – as I am positive that my “thinking cells” have now stretched & I am smarter just by association.

Come back soon!

Yee-Haw! I knew I could count on you, pardner. Should I call you Tex now? Thank you for all your great comments and for being a really cool Bro.

I’m your Texas groupie. You actually found my blog first, and have left a number of insightful and uplifting comments (thank you, by the way). I already posted on your interfaith playlist, but I could spend all day listing my “favorite” songs.
