Back when we were able to meet in-person, we had a tremendously good time at our Great Songs workshops, singing and playing on the Artichoke stage with lights and sound, and more to the point, an audience.

So we're going to focus again on performance this Sunday. We won't have all the trimmings, but neither do our heroes who are live-streaming all over the web these days.

Bring a song or two to share. We’ll open the floor for comments or questions. And, we’ll hone our Zoom recording skills, as well.

We got the beat last time. Now it's time to break it up in bite-sized pieces. We'll cover subdivision in SSV Short Takes: Rhythm II.

We will do some singing and playing, naturally. Got a song about, set in, or inspired by Spring?

Sean will be Coaching, with Ed Hosting.

In honor of Earth Day, this month, I'd like to do a theme

of planet earth. Invite everyone to share a song, poem,

or anything about our planet, environment, oceans, whatever

inspires you to improve your life and the lives around you.

Hopefully that's a large enough target to get everyone

interested in sharing something about our Mother Earth.

Bring your favorite cover song by a friend. Or local

musician. Or any cover you'd like to share. Preferably

one you haven't played before or lately. Or bring a

poem or other unfinished/finished writing to share.

Sean says: I've been learning a friend's song and thought it was

a good idea to try to learn other's songs, just to pay

tribute to a fellow songwriter. Lots of material there.

And we'll share whatever is stoking our creative fires these days.
