OMIGAWD!!! It worked. I'm so utterly thrilled. Except it's a sage-green clickie thing. But who's to quibble?Ya-whooo!
Oh, and re. what's missing in festivals? I haven't been to enough of them to critique a great deal, but I do know that I love the workshops, especially those that are set up to suit several different levels of skills. Being a singer, I'd always like to see more workshops on harmony singing and other topics of interest for The Voice.
And, even though my young 'uns aren't so young anymore, I do love to see -- and hear -- the kids enjoying music. I also would love to see more that would involve and welcome adolescents, even though I know traditional music is a pretty hard sell with many of 'em.
