I "went" to a Zoom song circle last night. There were participants in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Alaska, West Virginia, and California. Over the weekend, I went to song circles in California, Oregon, and Washington State. As I listened, I researched the songs and started Mudcat threads on a lot of songs that hadn't been discussed here. Every moment of those gatherings was positive, and every person sang their best. And I heard and interacted with some wonderful singers. And we laughed a lot.
I don't think I'm going to be able to sing in person with people for a year, maybe more. But I sure enjoy singing online, and I'm learning a lot this way.
