First of Many Community Sing Alongs!

There's a new roots music school in town called The Front Porch and it is a great place to take music lessons and get together with other music friends. Yesterday was our first Second Sunday Community Sing Along and it was a lot of fun! We had a small but appreciative group.

The songs we sang covered many genres from traditional folk, gospel, blues, show tunes, Motown. Some of the songs included, "My Girl," "Stand By Me," "From a Distance," "Moonshadow," Daydream Believer, " "If I Had a Boat," "Down by the Riverside," "Down to the River to Pray," "The Earth is our Mother," selections from the Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music.

There is something so special about joining in song with people. Whether it was in the summer camps of childhood, music classes in school, or front porch of our house, we all remember the rush of joy we felt as our voices joined with others in song. When harmonies gave us goosebumps, melodies made us smile and rhythms had us stomping and clapping along.

If you live in the area and like to sing--please mark your calendar for the Second Sunday of the month at 4:00 at The Front Porch in Cville. We sing until 5:00 and then share a potluck supper.  We'd love to have you!!
