      Hallelujah! My Christmas Chorus Memoir (an Animation).

      Dec 15, 2023

      I don’t remember trying out for Miss Nina’s baby-blue choir. I was 4. What I do remember is the reaction to my audition. The grown-ups all burst out laughing. They said I “broke the sound barrier.” Breaking the sound barrier was a fairly new concept
