Oh, as in, we didn’t go anywhere; we stayed put in one place. This outing was sponsored by the Fulton Area Business Alliance and took place only about a block away from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where I went the very next day for a non-Meister performance of The Hard Nut. I wore my new Christmas hat with elf ears, although the wind wreaked havoc with it a few times.
This wasn’t the greatest caroling experience—the keys were set either too high or too low for comfortable amateur singing, but it was still a lot of fun. We sang a lot of the usual suspects, including Angels We Have Heard on High and Frosty the Snowman. We even managed a Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree!
Will I go again next year? Possibly. As always with outdoor caroling, a lot will depend on the weather. In fact, this event was supposed to have taken place on December 15, if memory serves, and that was the weekend with bad weather (I didn’t even try caroling in the Village on December 16).
And, of course, my ‘silver bell’ made the trek to Brooklyn as well as my red clown nose, for Rudolph. As I said, fun but not great. The organizers, however, did a very good job.
