TARBORO — To the Editor:

Thirty-two singers, 12 instrumentalists, four conductors and a crowd of approximately 200 gathered Sunday afternoon in Keihin Auditorium for the “Sacred Music Through Ages” concert presented by the Edgecombe Community Chorus.

Becky Johnson and Robert Sparks, co-directors, invited Lloyd Owens, choir director and organist at Calvary Episcopal Church and Bill Hilderbrandt, choir director and organist at Howard Memorial Presbyterian Church, to join them in a concert of sacred music of various genres. Baroque, classical, gospel, spiritual, praise and worship, and hymn tunes were celebrated during the afternoon of music. Musicians included a string trio, harpist, brass quartet, flautist, percussionist and pianist. The program included Haydn’s “The Heavens are Telling” featured Brent Nash, Michael Taylor and Caswell Shaw in trio, Kay Hindsley, soloist on “Days of Elijah” and Brandon Woody, soloist on “Midnight Cry”. The piano accompanists were Bill Hilderbrandt and Becky Johnson.

Appreciation goes to the Daily Southerner reporter Miranda Baines, Edgecombe Community College, Eric Greene, Edgecombe County Public Schools, Debbie Davis, members of the chorus, First Baptist Church and St. James United Methodist Church. Three grocery carts of canned goods and $700 was collected in donations for Tarboro Community Outreach from the public who attended the concert.

We thank our Tarboro/Edgecombe community for supporting us through their attendance and TCO donations. Thank you, Edgecombe Community Chorus members, for your preparation and presentation. You are wonderful!

If the flags in Tarboro are not flying at half-staff, then they should be as a true patriot, hero, and Christian has died.

Your coverage on the gun control debate was fair and accurate and I have fought against gun control my whole life. The sad thing is this time the American public is haunted by the ghosts of 20 innocent children and the claims by the proponents for assault weapons is making all gun owners look callous and uncaring.

What has Clark Jenkins done? He has served his town, his county, and his state for five consecutive terms in the North Carolina Senate. He has led a life of service to his business, his church, and his family. He has been a friend and a partner with me and my family for over 50 years.
