In the Spring of 2012, a friend of mine asked me if he could spotlight Grace Notes as one of the KFAI radio's MinneCulture 10,000 Fresh Voices project. How could I object?
Listen to it here.
Thank you so much Will for highlighting Grace Notes! Will Hale does great work with children's music. Check out Tadpole Parade at http://www.willhale.com/.
The story initially aired on March 26, 2012 and is archived at the Ampers website. Ampers is a collective of 15 independent radio stations in Minnesota. While you're at it check out all the other cool MinneCulture stories!

Is that the January wind you hear? SHHH...
That's not January's wind you hear. It's your reminder of January's installation of Sing Heavenly Harmony Home (SHHH!)!
Join us on Sunday, January 6, 2013 for singing songs of struggle and resolve, concern and hope, and sadness and joy.
In this New Year, SHHH is in a NEW LOCATION at a NEW TIME and added another 'H' to the acronym.

- New Locale: Rondo Community Outreach Library, 461 Dale St. N, St. Paul, MN. We'll be meeting in the Youth Meeting Room.
- New Time: 2-4 p.m. The library is open 1-5 p.m. on Sunday so we're adjusting to meet during their hours.
- Additional 'H': Each of the 'H's stand for different projects. "Heavenly" represents a connection to the Grace Notes hospice choir and to the movement in faith communities to do more (not exclusively, just more) paperless music (see the Music that Makes Community work of All Saints Company). "Harmony" represents the connection between individuals in community art. "Home" points to the connection with the Arts Responding to Foreclosure (ARF!) project.

SHHH! It's December soon!
Now that we are in full fledged holiday mode, be sure to get enough exercise. Singing exercise that is! It's time to warm up those Christmas carols!
On Sunday, December 2, 2012, from 4-6 p.m. Sing Heavenly Harmony Home (SHHH!) will be singing at the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library's O'Shaughnessy Room one last time in 2012. Please join us for a smattering of tunes of the season, and songs for all times. You can even lead one if you'd like. Just let me know when you get there! Here's a link to the usual details.

Have a Great Thanksgiving!
I've been smiling to myself a lot lately when I greet folks with "Have a Great Thanksgiving!"
At the risk of sharing the rationale of a joke and taking all the fun out of it, I'll tell you why...
Are these phrases familiar to you?
Leader: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
L: Lift up your hearts
A: We lift them up to the Lord.
L: Let us give thanks to our God.
A: It is good and right to give our thanks and praise.
This conversation between pastor/priest/minister person and the congregation kicks off the section of a communion worship service (mass for Catholic and Anglican types) and is called the Great Thanksgiving.
It must be a worship geek thing to love the double meaning in saying that. Have a great feast! Have a great communion! Have a great shared community meal! Have a great time with family remembering the blessing of God's great abundance!
