In England it hardly is a seemly thing to do in public, to sing, oh dear me no, that is for Americans and Australians...not at all proper. Should this be so? if you find yourself in a public place, maybe doing a job like sweeping, who will complain? if you like rock music [of course I mean christian rock] you might heave your broom triumphantly in the air and twirl it [don't for heaven's sake don't knock anybody's eye out] and strut along singing
Now is the time for you to shine
WO-AH WOAH
Shine with the light of Christ divine
WO-AH WOAH
NOW IS THE TII-YYYME
Or whether young or old you might softly hymn this one as you sweep around peoples feet.
Slogan/motto:
Try to be civil in the face of incivility. This is a test.

Oh Totton, this thread brought back some wonderful memories from my past.
Years ago we lived in an area of older homes built quite close together. We were friendly with all of our neighbors but especially so with our neighbors whose house was just a few feet from our kitchen window. I sang in the choir. We did not have central air. So, as I worked in the kitchen with windows wide open, especially doing the dishes, I would practice my hymns for the following Sunday. The neighbor kids were mightily entertained by my efforts!
Every now and then when I hit a particular note, the dog would join me in a Howlathon!

"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.' [2] Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in Hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul, if----and mark well what I say----if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins" (St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Secret of the Rosary, Red Rose).

Hee there is no greater joy in this world than giving out for the Lord Pat, everyone is "in your face" these days why not we? I do not think it wise to be in people's face with that hell fire and damnation stuff, but tell people God's love. And singing is an excellent way to do that, I've done a bit of busking, my voice like yours is quirky and my guitar work even quirkier. We have a preacher who goes to the park with his dog and as soon as he opens his mouth to preach his dog sets off yip yapping too, when he pauses the dog pauses eying his master for the slightest sign of resumption at which he also joins in again. He is the "preaching dog," but it always draws a crowd.
