09 Dec 05 - 01:31 AM (#1623424) Subject: Singtime Frolics, Oregon, 3/24-26/06 From: steve.mullinax Join us for Portland FolkMusic Society's (formerly Portland Folklore Society)22nd Annual Singtime Frolics, a weekend camp for singers and musicians of all ages & abilities, March 24, 25, 26, 2006. Enjoy homemade music: song circles, formal & informal workshops, and camaraderie in the foothills of the Oregon Cascades. Come relax, sing, and dance in a comfortable, spacious lodge and cabins in a beautiful wooded setting at Camp Adams, a 45 minute drive SE of Portland, near Mollala. This year's guest artist is Portland's own Marie Schumacher, vocal musician and director. She leads PDX Vox, an a cappella choral group and singing classroom specializing in contemporary pop music. Marie will teach a collection of pop songs for SATB, including some of her own arrangements, in a two hour workshop on Saturday morning. For Singtime details and a flyer containing a registration form, see http://www.portlandfolklore.org/singtime.html. |

To all singers in the Pacific Northwest, this is a great singing weekend with the possibilities of singing in large groups or splitting off into small groups or sharing songs with one other person. The singing often lasts until past 2:00 AM with all sorts of singing styles represented from sean nos to shanties, from blues to broadway. A number of good songwriters usually attend, including Zeke Hoskins and Flip Breskin. Singers have come from as far away as Vancouver, BC and San Francisco. And there will be a number of 'catters there, too. Blessings Barbara and Genie are always there, Thomas the Rhymer, Francie, and Mudjack have attended, and I'm probably forgetting (or ignorant of) others--no slight intended. More information and the application form can be downloaded at the PFS website. I hope to see a bunch of you there! Cheers, David |

Any of you planning to attend? With more than 100 attendees there's a great variety of singing styles and song genres. Hope to see some of you. Cheers, David |

16 Jan 06 - 01:15 AM (#1649339) Subject: RE: Singtime Frolics, Oregon, 3/24-26/06 From: Mark Cohen I'm going to try to make it this year, with Shayna. I was at the first Singtime Frolics, and the, what, 14th? in 2000, and I'm trying to shorten the interval. Can't make any promises--it partly depends on the new important person in my life, whose schedule is much tighter than mine. (Not a singer but enjoys listening.) At least this time I won't have to cross an ocean to get there... Aloha, Mark |

I'd love to hear your old songs--and your new songs, too--and to sing Brandywine with you (if you're not too sick of singing it again and again--we just don't hear it enough here.) Glad to hear you'll be there too, Genie. Cheers, David |

And especially you, Mark, since "oceans braid twixt us hae roared" for a "lang" time (to quote Robbie Burns). Glad you hope to be there. Genie |
