Last night our neighbors took us to a performance of the above group at the SF Jazz Center. They were 80-strong, doing gospel, spiritual, blues, no dusty old hymns. Very lively upbeat and positive. Hope, faith, lift us up, lots of solos. Standing audiences clapping and dancing too. Backed by an 8 piece jazz band -- keyboards, horns, guitars, drums. LGBT. Great stuff.

One question: "Hope, faith, lift us up, lots of solos." "Hope" for and "faith" in what or whom?

Oh, so that phrase originates in their literature as a description of these
social events. Thanks. Do either of your neighbors play chess online?
No, they have dogs instead.

Well, she just purchased an $1,800 one pound, month old puppy. She has also invested another $1,200 in a bed, playpen, clothing, accessories and grooming items which include Little Girl Puppy Perfume. lol According to the Veterinarian, it will gain weight if fed properly for a total of 4 months to 3.5 lbs. Linda sings to Chloe and loves her like a child. Your neighbors would most likely approve. [Bobby don't though he understands. lol]

I'd call it a formal social occasion although not black tie. It was a benefit. There was much in the way of worshipful gestures. they recorded the event for a CD and were showing off their new gowns too.
Maybe you recognize some of these titles from the program: A mighty long way, Ain't God good, Full time god, God is, King Jesus. Rollaway the rock, Wade in the water, Yes there is hope.
