Though we’re entering the fourth year of the pandemic, I’m hopeful that maybe it’s going to become “just endemic”. Regardless, I would like to with everyone a happy, safe, and healthy 2023.
1.1.2023 05:00Happy New Year!It’s the third Christmas during the pandemic. It’s also the first Christmas in three years which we were able to play handbells for in person! We played three hymns with the organ and choir and a bells-only piece at the Christmas Eve service and I had to say it was great to be able to […]

1.1.2022 05:00Happy New Year!So, another Christmas that’s trying to set yet more firsts that really don’t need to be set. I almost got to play handbells at an in-person Christmas Eve service, but when the omicron variant caused the numbers to start to blow up, that was cancelled. But, we were able to record a couple of pieces […]

11.11.2021 16:00Remembrance DayWelcome to 2021! When I posted my annual greeting message last year, I did not imagine that the year would have gone the way it did. While 2020 definitely had a lot of negatives, there were a few positives that I’m not sure I’d want to give up. So, here’s to a great 2021! Let’s […]
1.1.2021 05:00Happy New Year!So, this is the weirdest Christmas that I’m sure that most of us have experienced. Normally, Christmas is all bells, all the time. This year, the closest I’ve gotten to a handbell is when I helped Jeanette record a solo handbell performance. Anyways, I hope that you and yours have a very merry Christmas and […]
