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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
