Thanks for the reply; I'll be sure to check out the links.

Being somewhat musically inept, I've really enjoyed shape-note singing. Plus, Barrand told me I did a good job today -- I've never been complimented on my singing, so that was exciting. (Of course, in school I was always stuck in the soprano section, but now I'm singing tenor.)

I can do interviews over email or over the phone and while I don't have a huge amount of free time during the day, I do have tons in the evenings -- especially this weekend. I'll try to make it to the convention, but since I don't have a car up here it might be tricky. Barrand told us about the one in Conn.

Anyways, if you're interested in talking/emailing w/ me sometime this week, please drop me an email. Thanks!
