Know that y’all’s kind comments about Sean’s passing mean SO much to me! I will reply to each, although it may me take awhile. He absolutely loved to hear all the MusicSky gossip. This is my last photo of us, taken Tuesday after we celebrated our 35 anniversary by voting.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: To mark the anniversary of the wreck of the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' on Lake Superior (November 10, 1975), here's Gordon Lightfoot's famous song about it—as covered even more hauntingly by the Punch Brothers, including Chris Thile singing and on mandolin. See you around.

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.
50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior

Believe it or not, I remember that concert 39 years ago! Love seeing our choral besties, Panoramic Voices, rocking some panpipes.😍
When Chaski was 1yo, we played a concert for an exhibit similar to the Blanton’s current Spirit and Splendor! Visit the Blanton!#chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

It was only a matter of time before the great Choral-K-Pop crossover happened, and it has.

In the worst possible way.

And people say you can't get love from inanimate objects...

Just look at that face!!!
In 10 days our neighbors will get married on their front porch. The whole block is caught up in wedding mania. Love is in the air & everyone’s giddy.
I wrote a tune for the occasion. Mooy McMooFace, garden mascot, is going to get a new outfit. She’ll have a tiara, veil, faux pearls, & a bouquet.

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and Broadway to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop makinge a living. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

Do we want to talk about the inept spacing, or that "just lay there" should be "just lie there"?

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

This Fanny Hensel Prelude in a minor has been in my ears a lot today. Bach for the Romantic era.

From @josephinelee.bsky.social: "From Texas to Florida, Louisiana, and New Jersey, the film reveals how librarians across the country have become victims of a crisis manufactured by national organizations bent on infiltrating and disrupting local school boards."

One of my interns from the regular session is challenging a sitting TX House Representative in the next election. If she can do it, you can do it.

Don't let republicans go unchallenged.

Good night, my lovelies. I’m signing off to start reading (as a paper book 👀) Lynda Rutledge’s “West With Giraffes.”

In light of “that” NYT piece, let me remind y’all that the Chaski gals have been “ruining” the workplace for 40 years. Also, we invite you to our upcoming presentations of Women’s Work, a concert celebrating women’s work in music, literature, science, and art.
