Canadians like Newfie jokes--except for Newfoundlanders, I suppose.

I used the urinal beside the one that the famous jazz drummer Max Roach was using at Birdland-the original Birdland.

That's wonderful news.

I am so glad that the surgery was successful. I wish her continued improvement, good health and blessings. Your last message has me a bit choked up.

I am still praying for a recovery for Lesley. I think many others are too.

I'm older than 52. ummmm...even 62. We'll stop there. I can't stand John Coltrane's playing but I loved the tenor sax scene in the original version of DOA. Go Fisherman! I don't know what I'd think of it now. I don't know if movie confessions are wanted here but I saw Funny Face about 10 times and l...

I keep reading the title as Scapegoat singing. So what is the big deal? It looks like a different kind of learning music with a different style of notation. It seems that there are breakdowns of the sounds in four or seven groups, but just a different way of doing Do Re Me. I have read that the arr...

A few years ago at the Goderich festival a fiddler and a piper were playing constantly together at the piper's tent. (he builds pipes). They were even playing at a restaurant patio. The piper was playing a Bb set. I thought the sound was great. It seems to be a different mood from D.

I got some of their music from the library but I'm sorry to say I didn't like Gorecki at all and found Part ok. Maybe I listened to ...

Just get a book and convince your choir to give it a go. There's nothing like it. Even Anglicans will like it. I have a Christian Harmony which is the seven shape system. If you had that you could start with something like Parting Hand or another one which is even better. I can't think of the name o...

I haven't done any shape note singing for a fairly long time. I used to go to the Augusta Heritage workshop and there was usually shape not singing there. I don't even remember the book. However the material we used had seven symbols for the notes of the scale. Later, I did some singing at the South...

I don't post here much but I have been following this thread, hoping and praying for Lesley's recovery. I will continue to do so.
