singers or fingers?


One of my joys is directing an ensemble which presents early American hymns, often in German and unison. Here's the group eight years ago at a restored meetinghouse close to Kitchener, Ontario. The name of the group is Foresingers, the Anglicizing of a German word, not in an English dictionary. The point? Someone at a future venue apologized for letting the spell checker change our esteemed name to forefingers. Funny, not?
