my choir is 25 years old

[cellio]

This year at Pennsic the Debatable Choir will celebrate our 25th anniversary. Wow. No one has been a member for all 25 of those years, but we have some long-time members and three of the founders are still around. It pleases me that even with the weight of that much tradition, we add new members fairly regularly -- along with the dinosaurs we have people who've only joined us in the last year or so.

The Pennsic performance includes a bunch of our own favorites, and I think it's going to be a blast. Anyone who's sung with us in the past is invited to join us for one song; I know a few of my readers are past members, so y'all come. :-) (Email me to find out what song.)

And this month we're recording a CD. Our first recording session is next week. I think we sounded really good at practice tonight; of course a recording reveals all, but I think we've done a good job of preparing. I'm really looking forward to this.

WOOT! Sign me up for that CD!!! ;) And congrats Debatable Choir!!!

It will be on sale at some merchants at Pennsic -- I don't know which ones but Arianna is lining some up and we will announce this at the concert. Pennsic rules no longer let us sell directly at the concert, alas. (Which, as a buyer, I find to be a real hassle.)

If Arianna wants to sell through WW&P, I have an "in"... I'll be working there (especially first week). I can put her in touch if she'd like.

When the CD is published, could you post about that? Thanks!

[cellio]

Thanks, I'll pass that on.

So you spend your first week working at a merchant and your second week working at the heralds' tent... when do you get time for yourself? :-)

[cellio]

Will do!

Congratulations, and best of luck with the recording!

That's wonderful!

Hi Evan!

What's WW&P?

Minerva's Spindle (aka Mistress Gabrielle d'Auvergne, storyteller), is the only merchant we have lined up thus far, but Alaric & Elsbeth are going to talk to another one who's a friend of theirs.

WW&P == White Wolf and the Phoenix (http://whitewolfandphoenix.com/), booth on Plunder Lane.

I am amused that you're putting out a CD at the same time that Alle Psallite is having the first recording session for their second CD (the first was 13 years ago, eeeek!).

[cellio]

Thanks! I'll be fun!

[cellio]

I'm looking forward to the recording and the performance!

Wow- congratulations! That's a pretty impressive record.

Congratulations to the choir! Now if only there was some way for those of us who won't be at Pennsic to get copies. (There are people I could ask to mongol me a copy, but they all have Issues -- mobility problems, a small child to wrangle, etc. -- that make me hesitate to ask.)

[cellio]

Thanks!

Come hear our concert at Pennsic -- Monday at 8PM. Tell your friends. :-)

I expect that some mail-order option (TBD) will be possible after Pennsic. When I know, you will. :-)
