The deserved longevity of Dial-A-Carol

It's reassuring to be reminded, in an era of so much technology, that the human touch still endures. The Dial-A-Carol volunteer's commitment to pulling off a reverential rendition of "What Child Is This?"  impressed me when I called this morning.  "What Child Is This?" isn't the easiest carol to sing, considering the swooping vocal range it requires.  The caroler sang it well, however, and I was particularly impressed with her fortitude in conquering the drama and inflection needed when singing, "This, this is Christ the king..."  Kudos to that caroler, and if you're calling one of those services this year, may the rendition of your requested carol be as heartfelt and on-key as hers was.
