#random personal stuff #'Blest Be the Tie That Binds' is a lovely hymn and I like it #but singing it in church takes me back to the Nightmare Class #we had read Jeeves and the Tie That Binds and That Man gave us a copy of the hymn lyrics so we would get the reference #he said he had wanted to play a recording for us but couldn't find one he liked #I said I knew the song and could give an idea of the tune (no idea what possessed me)#so I sang the first four verses for him and the one other girl in the class in my mediocre untrained voice #and he left the classroom abruptly when I was done #he came back handing us copies of the book as gifts and saying he had been moved but not by my singing...something about hymns in general?#no idea what that was about but that was a weird note to end the class on #and if I had known that singing a hymn would get him to leave & shut up I would have brought a hymnbook the first day & sung it through :P
