WEEKEND: Pair of singers to croon out ‘Love Songs’ this Sunday in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES ­­— An afternoon titled “Love Songs,” open to everybody, is coming up this Sunday as Michael Rivers and Dan Cobb, members of the Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers, host a concert and sing-along.

Show time is 3 p.m. for this 90-minutes-with-an-intermission gathering at First Presbyterian Church, 139 W. Eighth St. Admission is free, with donations welcome.

Original, gospel and sing-along songs will fill up the place, with Cobb and Rivers teaming up on numbers such as “Down Burden Road,” one Rivers wrote, as well as spirituals and playful gospel tunes such as “This Little Light of Mine.”

“I can’t plan all the musical surprises that might happen,” said Rivers, adding that the music will cover “all kinds of love: a mother’s love for her daughter, a son’s love for his father, the passing of time noticed at family gatherings and the Father’s love for all of us.”
