September 14, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Power Of One.

Liverpool now has a town chorus.  Last evening was registration.  This is the second year of the chorus.  Thirty years ago the leader of the Liverpool Chorus moved and the chorus ceased singing.  But now over 70 people have signed up and paid their dues and the rehearsals begin next Tuesday.  This is all happening because of the power of one.

In March of 2015, Chris and Henry were talking with Oscar, the gregarious owner of a shop in Liverpool.   They had retired to Liverpool in 2014 and were living on Shore Road, just down the road from us.   In a casual conversation, Chris asked if there was an adult local chorus.  Oscar picked up a clip board, wrote down Chris' name and handed it back, saying "There is now, and you are the new director."   Last season they had 45 singers and held 3 concerts.  This season will be bigger and better.

Every project begins with one persons idea and the success comes from the huge energy coming from that one person.  It all begins with one person driving the activities along.  There it was again, right before my eyes.  The Power of One.
