COLUMBIA, KY - Gerald L. Chafin hoped putting famous poems to music would be successful. He didn't expect it to result in a repeat performance.

But on November 22, 2009, the Lindsey Wilson choral ensembles will reprise their recent performance of "The Poets Sing: Musical Settings of Distinguished Poems." The performance will be 7pmCT, Sunday, November 22, 2009, at Columbia Baptist Church, 201 Greensburg ST, Columbia, KY. The concert is free and open to the public.


"The Poets Sing" was performed November 2, 2009,m to a standing-room-only audience.

"Because our first performance was so well-received and several members, we decided to present it again," said Chafin, who is Lindsey Wilson College associate professor of music and director of choral programs. "A number of people told us they were unable to attend our Nov. 2 performance, and many of the people who attended our first performance expressed interest in hearing it again. So we just decided to do it again."

"The Poets Sing" includes 10 pieces of either well-known poetry or poems by well-known authors set to music.

Pieces to be performed include "Hold Fast Your Dreams," by Louise Driscoll; "Things That Never Die," by Charles Dickens; and "Anyway," which is attributed to Mother Teresa and appears on an engraving on the home for children in Calcutta, India.

Voice student Anna-Catherine Hook of Louisville, Ky., will sing Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening."

The Lindsey Wilson Singers will perform the tone-poems "Who Knows Where the Wind Blows," "The Forest," "Lightning" and "The Storm Is Passing Over." The Lindsey Wilson choral ensembles will present an encore of "The Poets Sing: Musical Settings of Distinguished Poems" 7pmCT Sunday, November 22, 2009, at Columbia Baptist Church, 201 Greensburg ST, Columbia, KY. The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Associate Professor of Music and Director of Choral Programs Gerald L. Chafin at chafing@lindsey.edu or (270) 384-8084.

One of these signs could save your life or the life of someone you love


(ADV) FFA Address Marker orders may be placed at Four Adair Co., KY businesses
We are announcing a new option to make it more convenient for people to place orders and pick up signs puchased from the Adair County FFA. Two local businesses have agreed to provide a location for people to place an order and pick up their sign when it is finished. You can now place an order at:


  • Day and Day Feed and Pet, 1011 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY

  • M & W Milling, 510 Short ST., Columbia, KY

  • Hardscratch Grocery, 7289 Hwy 55 South Road, Columbia, KY. In the Glensfork Community of Adair County. Phone (270) 384-4671

  • Burton Ace Hardware, 314 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY. Phone (270) 384-2696
We will pick up the orders every few days and call the person when the sign is ready to be picked up. Signs are still $15 and are a hot item for Chistmas since they fit perfectly into a large stocking. They are about the best gift I can think of for the person that already has everything and is hard to shop for. If a person wants a sign by Christmas, they will have to get their order in by December 15, 2010. which is the last day of school before break. Orders placed after this date will not likely be filled until after the New Year. -Kirby Hancock, Advisor, Adair County FFA
