CLAUDIA SINGING OUT THERE

SARNO'S RESTAURANT *(see song type)HOLLYWOOD,THE SINGING OPERA BACK IN THE DAY WAS OFTEN STREET AND RESTAURANT[also Foxy's Restaurant glendale ] BEFORE I WAS INVITED TO TEMPLE SERVICE BEGINNING AT THE SHRINE AUDITORIUM. FROM THERE SITTING AMONG AUDIENCE I LEARNED OF THE JOHN CARTER REPORT. AS TIME PROGRESSED, I SANG IN THE CHOIR LED BY PAUL MICKELSON NOTED WIRKDS FINEST ORGANIST. IT IS HE WHO INVITED TIME AND AGAIN TO SING SOLOS AND WOULD DRIVE ME FROM TRINITY CHURCH TO UCC FOR SABBATH AND SUNDAY SERVICES.

THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS FELLOWSHIPS WERE SPREADING OUT FROM THE JOHN CARTER REPORT.

I WOULD NOT LET GO OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. WHO NEVER MADE ME A VESTAL PROSTITUTE, BUT SIMPLY ACCEPTED MY SINGING AS MY COMMITTMENT.

DURING THESE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY I HAD 4 YEARS A ROOM AT UCC. AND AT TRINITY I SERVED 13[1988TO2001] YEARS IN MUSIC PORTIONS WHILE I LEARNED TO PLAY THE VIOLIN. THEY GAVE ME A ROOM UPSTAIRS TO PRACTICE IN THE DAYTIME.

MY ORDUNATION WAS AT TRINITY. I WAS NEVER COMPROMISED IN FAITH, OR PRACTICE, OR MUSIC THERE, WHILE FLOYD AND CAROLYN LAWSON WERE IN OFFICE.

Through the Years Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Through the years I'll take my place beside you

Smiling through the years

Through your tears I'll keep my place beside you

Smiling through your tears

[Bridge]

I'll be near no matter when or where

Remember what is mine I'll always share

[Verse 2]

Through the night I'll be a star to guide you

Shining bright the clouds may come and hide you

Through the years till love is gone and time first disappears

I'll come to you, smiling through the years.
