Report from Folklife

We had a great sing-a-long at NW Folklife on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day and lots of people came out early to enjoy the festival. We had more than a hundred people at the classical sing-in we hosted at noon! The music went well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We were in a little courtyard next to Intiman Theater that had good acoustics and shade (not usually a problem in Seattle, I know, but we were happy to have it on Saturday!). It was even pretty with blooming rhododendrons and a climbing hydrangea. Thanks to Chris V. for leading, to Ingrid for playing, to all the choir members who came for participating, to the festival-goers for singing and to the weather for cooperating! More pictures on Flickr (see the link to the right) but here's what it looked like...

From a fan...

I really enjoyed the street show as well as the full chorus in the church. Here's a momento from the streets.

Best wishes, and thanks again!

Terrell's first choir

I promised in my member profile in this week's cyber-gazette to post a picture from my middle school choir. This picture appeared on the back of a recording my church choir did in about 1970. Yes, it was vinyl. No, I can't upload the recording because I don't own anything that can play vinyl. Can you find me??  -Terrell

OK, now I'm challenging the rest of you guys to pull out some vintage snaps of you singing or doing something else musical. Kate, I know we'd love to see a shot of you in your band uniform!
