The Mindful Minute by Jon Heydenreich: Kicked Out

I got kicked out of the choir at my church, which is a tiny choir of 7 people in a small church.

Our choir director, who seems to be having a mental breakdown, told me to mouth the words while singing a piece that is beyond our capabilities.

As someone who cannot read music and struggles to watch the notes and read the words, I found it challenging to keep up.

I will be directing at Tanglewood Any Day Now.

I was taken aside and suggested to rest during the choir piece, which led me to feel like complaining to the church council, but it's not like we can fire the choir director, as they are hard to come by.

Now, if you come to our church, you'll see a tall guy in the choir mouthing the words - that's me.
