Wow 40 years! Where did the time go?
I've always been one of the oldest members of the Stairwell Carollers - if not the OLDEST - at our choir's 20th anniversary in 1997 I was 41, but still didn't look a day over 30. Pierre had HAIR - and I shampooed out my grey at home in 20 minutes.
This was our 4th appearance on CTV's Regional Contact with Joel Haslam as host.
Joel actually joined our group soon after our first appearance on his show back in 1993. He sang with our choir for 3 years but never did a Regional segment with us during that time, concerned about how it may look.
This was also the CD launch for Qui creavit celum, and a final song for Katrina. One of our finest sopranos, Katrina lost her battle with breast cancer soon after recording her tracks for our CD. We dedicated Qui creavit celum to her memory and net proceeds enabled us to give a donation to the Breast Cancer society.
We all grieved the loss of a dear friend and an angelic voice.
Joel used clips from our previous appearances on Regional to do a beautiful tribute to her in this episode.
