“The Sing” at The Annie
Come join the fun at The Annie every Wednesday night at 7PM for two and a half hours of musical sharing. We sit in a circle in the Art Parlor and take turns singing (or playing acoustic instruments, or both), and if others know the song, they join in. All genres are welcome! Prior experience singing in public is NOT necessary – it’s just about sharing our love for music, whether you are a pro, or usually only sing in the shower… It’s a very informal setting. People can also bring snacks or beverages to share. There is a $5 recommended donation per person. We have a pretty steady group of regulars, but there is also many people who come whenever their schedule allows. Here are some photos from past “sings”:
Michael Foley (below) is not only a musician, but also a stone carver.
Alexander Thompson brought some of his new organic variety of “Ma’s Brand” tomato marmelade:
In between his turns to sing, he was designing the label for the jars:
Ernie Pigeon, the organizer of The Sing:
When it’s not our turn for singing, some of us also do other artsy things while we listen, like knitting, drawing, or origami! Or you can just sit and listen and admire the art show in the art parlor.

More Farmer’s Market craze
Thursday, 3-6:30 at Stage Fort Park! Don’t miss it! It’s not just food (as if delicious local food were not a sufficient reason to go…); there are also people selling cookbooks, pottery, and art; plus there are art activities for the kids, run by teens from Art Haven.
One of the things I like most about the Farmer’s Market is that the people who are selling things there are usually closely involved in the production of what they sell. That makes a world of difference; you can see that they are proud of what they are selling, they really know it inside and out, and they are convinced of its value. Their enthusiasm is contagious! And they often offer free samples. So, be forewarned: you are likely to spend more money than you planned to. But that’s OK, it’s supporting the local economy!

An evening of song at the Annie
Last night we had our weekly Wednesday night singing session at the Annie. It’s very informal and spontaneous; anyone who wants to show up takes a seat in our circle of chairs in the art parlor, and we go around taking turns singing (and/or playing acoustic instruments). The group will often join in the chorus if it is a well-known song. It’s a very open atmosphere; music of pretty much any genre, and singers any level of talent or experience (from people who usually only sing in the shower, to music professionals), are welcome. People are also welcome to come if they just want to listen.
Here is a slideshow of some spontaneous photos I took last night.
