I may have mistaken to think Voices of Redeemer only happens once every season. There is supposed to be another performance in May, Mothers' Day. I may have spoken too soon to Micah about this.<\/p>\n<p>It was a total of 45 people. Learned a few names, Arthur (a black guy who could possibly sing all 4 parts with great tones), Jason, Tony, Micah, Agnes, and \"G\", a Malaysian guy who was pleased to learn I am also from Malaysia. I wasn't sure if he <strong>switched<\/strong> his accent to Malaysian English and Chinese when he learned that of me.<\/p>\n<p>There is a possibility that homosexuality is tolerated judging from the ways certain a couple of the guys were behaving. It's not clear but I think it is not necessary, judging from their male singing to behave effeminate. It makes me curious to look into the kind of side effect a father of this sort may have on his children, particularly, boys.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, these two fellas' singing are superb. More than I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Sunday marked the first time for me and my wife to sing on stage at Hunter College together with the other volunteers.
