Judy Fjell is inviting friends of folk music to gather at Cliff and Chere’s house on Sunday evening, March 7, at 7 PM. She is currently working on a singalong songbook to be published this fall by Mountain Desert UU. Judy’s description of the book: “This is a group of songs which I have been using to gather people together in voice and community spirit. Some songs are strictly for fun and the joy of singing, others elicit the deep feelings found in gospel music. I am creating a songbook full of melodies and harmonies and lyrics that free-thinkers and religious liberals can heartily sing.”
Judy is inviting members of the Corvallis community for this singalong on March 7 in order to hear and feel our responses to her collection. She also welcomes suggestions of other songs appropriate to this songbook project. The singalong will begin at 7 PM, preceded by a potluck at 5:30 PM.
