quicko: stand to sing

I noticed this in England as well and a pastor there told me it was biblical, but it still strikes me as strange: Australian Christians always stand up when they sing in church. No we've-sung-three-songs-time-to-sit-down-for-the-fourth here; it's full speed ahead to the grand finale!

I don't know if it's biblical or not, but it's certainly anatomical. You can't get any kind of diaphragm mobility when you're sitting down. This probably doesn't make the slightest difference to most people, but a trained vocalist will always get a much better and more gustofull sound when standing up.

Well,it probably sounds better, too, since singing is produced better when standing. Full expansion of the diaphragm, and all that.
