Doug Mataconis held a B.A. in Political Science from Rutgers University and J.D. from George Mason University School of Law. He joined the staff of OTB in May 2010 and contributed a staggering 16,483 posts before his retirement in January 2020. He passed far too young in July 2021.
I dunno. I’ve heard worse choirs–I’ve directed worse choirs–but they are truly bad in that Platonic-ideal-of-badness sort of way. The director gets my vote for “worst at selecting music,” though.
This choir director made a really poor choice of music for this group. I am unsure though of how much singing that they could actually pull off with any success of being on tune at all. Our church had a smaller choir and usually sounded great as long as they stayed with music that fit their abilities. You do not have to have great numbers in a choir for success and age is not always a factor: Robert Merrill had a great voice even when he was much older.

Buh?
Just cruel.
Four. Years. Old.
Meaning the whole choir is probably dead.
Why Bill O’Reilly doesn’t go after this “music” video to stigmatize our cultural decadence beats me.
