An unusual guest will be joining the Seattle Men's Chorus for their "A Foreign Affaire" spring presentation, March 29 and 30 at McCaw Hall. Rick Steves is not known for his singing, so you won't be surprised to hear that he's not singing. But he is joining them. The context of the performance is a trip around Europe, and Steves will lend his expertise and raconteurship in between songs.
Steve remembered when the Chorus came to him and asked him to do this concert. "They came to me and asked what I think, and I like to do this because I've never done it. I like the idea of doing something new, not just standing on stage and telling people about churches in Germany. I invited them to perform at my church [in Edmonds]. I think 'the church' should be very inclusive. Churches should not be 'Gay-friendly' churches or 'not-Gay-friendly' churches; they should just be churches who include everyone. People often are homophobic not because they're mean, but because they're afraid. If they can meet people and realize, 'they're just like me,' it becomes less scary. I've always believed that variety is a very important thing in this world and it would be very boring without it.
