Truckin' Up to Truckee

At the invitation of Fr. Vincent Juan, we will be singing for 9 AM Mass at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Truckee, CA on Sunday, July 22, a rare summer appearance for us. We'll rehearse at 7 PM on Tuesday, July 17 at our usual location.

I do not believe we have sung in this charming ski and transportation hub before. The town, of course, is named for the great Paiute Chief Truckee, whom you can read more about here. Despite what the title implies, we will not be singing "Keep on Truckin'" by Eddie Kendricks, ""Truckin'" by the Grateful Dead, or "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple [1]. We don't want to give any parish DRMs any ideas. 

[1] I wonder if Kathy can hit some of those high notes Ian Gillan used to scream out. The fan video done for this, a collection of space movie scenes, is quite good.
