Happy New Year! You are cordially invited to come sing next week with the Free Range Folk Choir. Everyone is welcome, no auditions necessary. Sign-in will begin at 6:45pm Monday, Jan. 7 at the VHS band room.
We'll sing African, Slavic, English and Japanese music among others, some of my favorite pieces we have sung over the years, both beautiful and challenging compositions. We'll be singing Mondays for the rest of the winter - see the whole schedule here.
Why is this important to me in these times? Wendell Berry says it beautifully in his poem:
"...Put your faith in the two inches of humus(From Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front)
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.
Listen to carrion – put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts."
Come sing!
Thanks,
Shane
