Join Seattle Song Circle on Zoom this Sunday)7 pm Seattle time) if you want to hear it and maybe even sing along sotto voce. I'm a song circle lover, and On Sunday nights when Seattle Sacred Harp singings were scheduled, I was often a house divided. Now there's less conflict, but because there are more in attendance I have fewer opportunities to call or lead songs. Last Sunday I sang "As-salamu alaikum" (to GIMME DAT OLD TIME RELIGION) and "Allah (God)'s Chilling Got Wings", both relics of time spent guarding a mosque in the aftermath of 9/11. This coming Sunday I intend to ask Bruce Baker to lead "The Apple Maggot Quarantine Area Round". Seattle Song Circle meets every Sunday at 7 pm Seattle time on Zoom, at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/358495231 In prepandemic Seattle, the Song Circle met in a different venue each week, and participation was limited to those who could get there. It was rare to have more than a dozen participants. Now twice that many seems pretty normal, and participants are located in many parts of North America, and occasionally perhaps further afield.
