Speaking of tenors and bass in heaven, the Baritone sent me this story about Marcus Lind. Marcus was a well-know Mennonite preacher, teacher, and author from Oregon.
David writes:
Marcus Lind had a dream while he was still alive that he had died
and was singing in Heaven’s choir. They got to the end of one song, and
the angel who was directing the choir stopped them and said, “Okay, the
bass section needs to quiet it down a little.” Marcus looked around, and
saw thousands and thousands of people in the soprano section, thousands
and thousands of people in the alto section, thousands and thousands of
people in the tenor section, and then he looked around for the basses and
realized he was the only one singing bass! So I guess there’s at least
one bass in heaven now.

Kenneth Martin, our director, told us, the SMBI choir, that story only a week or so ago and applied it to one of the basses in our choir and told him that he was like that bass in heaven (outsinging 10,000 altos, 10,000 tenors, 10,000 sopranos) and that if he wanted, he could back off a bit.
