Halle, Halle
My wife and I were married in the same Minneapolis church where we first met. Margaret prepares many of the visual elements used for Advent, Lent, and Easter seasons. I play the congas and other percussion for several different musical ensembles at St. Stephens. As we planned our ceremony, we knew that there needed to be percussion involved, together with some of the musicians I play with. Our friend who was playing piano called a drummer he's played with in the past, who then came to the wedding with his brother who brought his own bongos. Two drummers for the price of one. While I felt strange sitting across the church from the musicians that day, the final song, a traditional Caribbean "Halle, Halle" was all the richer, even without me on the drums. Mike Menner |
